A handful of Alfred State athletes battled the competition and the weather at the St. John Fisher Cardinal Classic on Saturday. Paul Kemsley (Lancaster) led the way with a victory in the discus.

Kemsley returned to action on Saturday and won the discus competition with a toss of 46.14 m. His throw was 2.05 m further than all the rest of the competition which featured 20 athletes.

Jacob Wadsworth (Dansville) was 2nd in the long jump with a leap of 6.90 m, Nikolas Brown (Wellsville) was 5th in the 110 hurdles (20.79), and Zion Ponder was 7th in the high jump (1.78 m).

The Pioneers will now shift their focus to the CSAC Championships next Saturday and Sunday at Keystone.
