OXFORD, Ohio - Miami University track & field wrapped up the Miami Duals with a host of running events Saturday.
The 'Hawks piled their men's and women's distance runners into a very fast 1500m. Sean Torpy and Christopher Torpy came out on top, each posting PRs of three seconds or more. It cemented the Torpy brothers as the top two 1500m runners in the Mid-American Conference - Sean first with his 3:46.24 and Chris second with his 3:47.15. Converting to the mile, the times inch them ever closer to the sub-four-minute mark.
Big PRs in the 1500m for Sean and Chris Torpy! They just landed themselves first and second in the Mid-American Conference, respectively.
