Men\u2019s Track Selects Captains<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y. \u2013<\/strong> With the indoor track season quickly bearing down on the University at Albany, the men\u2019s team announced their selections for team captains for the 2013-14 season. \u00a0Seniors Jonathan Santana, Matthew Catera, and Abel Gilet, and junior Alexander Bowen were named captains on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are a great group of leaders who I have no doubt will lead our program well,\u201d said Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Roberto Vives, speaking of both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s selections, which were also made on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Santana, a Rochester, N.Y. native, is one of most prolific sprinters in UAlbany history. \u00a0For indoor track, he holds all-time rankings in the 200 (fourth, 21.72), 400 (third, 48.00), 500 (sixth, 1:03.80), and 600 (second, 1:20.67). \u00a0In outdoor track, he holds all-time rankings in the 200 (fourth, 21.64), \u00a0and 400, (second, 47.19).<\/span><\/p>\n

Catera hails from Whitestone, N.Y., and is one of the more versatile athletes on the team. \u00a0He holds the eighth-best time in school history in the indoor heptathlon (4771), and holds the school record for the outdoor decathlon (6637).<\/span><\/p>\n

Gilet has only been on the team for a year, yet already holds the third-best shot put (51\u2019-1\u201d) and fourth-best discus throw (165\u2019-7\u201d) in outdoor school history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, Bowen, a Beacon, N.Y. native, holds school records in both the indoor and outdoor high jump, recording heights of 7\u2019-3.25\u201d in each event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coach Vives shared some of his thoughts about the athletes who were selected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJonathan is highly respected and committed to excellence. \u00a0Matt is the hardest working person on the team and a natural born leader. \u00a0Abel has only been with us for one year, but he has tremendous love for the program which is contagious to his teammates. \u00a0And Alex is a soft spoken but incredible athlete who is not intimidated by anyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The women\u2019s team selected Katie Dowd, Kathryn Fanning, Jillian Haynes, and Tynelle Taylor-Chase as their captains. \u00a0After the RACC Classic Intra-Squad meet on December 9, UAlbany\u2019s first competition will be the Penn State Relays in State College, Pa., on January 11.<\/span><\/p>\n
