ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – The Franklin & Marshall men's track & field team won two events and got three more runner-up finishes in its final meet of the regular season when the team traveled to the Elizabethtown Blue Jay Tune-Up this weekend. In addition to those performances, Justin Kolpan competed in the prestigious Penn Relays where he recorded a second-place finish in the javelin.

Kolpan finished second only to The Citadel's Arthur Parham in a field that featured Division I, II, and III athletes. His best throw was marked at 60.43 meters to make him the top Division III finisher.

That performance headlined another overall strong weekend for the Diplomat throwers as Will Bramley won the hammer throw at Elizabethtown when he broke his own school record with a new personal best of 53.78 meters. That throw now ranks 49th in Division III this season. Teammate Dustin Stoetzel was second in that event with a mark of 40.69 meters. Ben Ford also had a PR in the hammer at 39.79 meters which now ranks him third in school history. Stoetzel and Ford were later the second and third-place finishers in the javelin with marks of 52.30 meters and 50.46 meters, respectively.

Austin Hadley won the discus with a throw of 42.15 meters, with Ben Ostroski scoring points with a seventh-place finish in the event (36.45m). Hadley was also the team's top finisher in the shot put with his throw of 11.55 meters.
