ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Indy Lyness won the 1500-meter run at the Joe Sweeney Invitational hosted by the University of St. Thomas. The Carleton College men's track & field team sent a small contingent to the 15-team meet and came home with a half-dozen top-12 results.
 
Lyness was seeded eighth in the 1500 but held off a trio of St. Olaf runners to win the 42-runner event with a time of 3:51.90, which bettered his previous personal best by more than 7.0 seconds.
 
Ehtan Ash, Asher Nathan and Liam Kennedy each recorded personal-best time in the 400-meter dash. They finished in 50.22 (fifth place), 51.26 (10th), and 51.42 (11th), respectively. Kennedy dropped time for fourth consecutive race.
 
Josh Meier took ninth in the 800-meter run, clocking a time of 1:55.06. Tim Adams had the top top-12 placement, taking 11th in the pole vault after clearing an outdoor PR of 3.83 meters.
