RIT first-year athlete Matt Funicelli snapped a 45-year old school mark in the discus, as the Tigers began the 2019 outdoor season by competing at the SUNY Geneseo Early Season Invitational on Saturday. Funicelli fired the discus 48.95 meters to break Bob Masiulis' previous school mark of 47.33 meters. He finished third in the event. It is a top-10 throw in all of Division III this season. Funicelli also finished fifth in the shot put with a toss of 14.02 meters.
