RPI senior Grant O'Connor ran the 5,000 meters in a school-record time of 14:17.84 to finish ninth at the 2019 Boston University David Hemery Valentine Invitational. O'Connor was the first Division III finisher in the 130-person field coming in just over one second behind a competitor from Dartmouth College and just ahead of a runner from the University of North Carolina. O'Connor's time broke his own school mark by 15 seconds and ranks No. 3 nationally in Division III this season.
