NORTHAMPTON, Mass.—The Gordon College Track and Field team celebrated five school records on Saturday at the Pioneer Invitational at Smith College. Zak Flowers (Fountain Valley, Calif.) and Kelsey Briggs (Vestal, N.Y.) each garnered big days in field events with three Gordon records between them.
 
The Gordon men won two events outright on Saturday, beginning with a win in the mile by freshman Damon Kilgore (Londonderry, N.H.). Kilgore outpaced the second-place finisher from Lasell by 13 seconds, while Will Deacon (Raymond, N.H.) picked up third in the event.
 
Flowers turned in a pair of podium finishes, including first in the hammer throw event. The senior dominated his competition with a toss of 51.87, which puts him in the top 20 qualifiers across Division III this season. He bested the second-place competitor by over seven meters. Later in the day, Flowers finished second in the discus throw with a toss of 41.76 meters.
 
The Fighting Scots also finished second in the 4x400 relay.
