CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Joe dosReis and Charlie Siebert each made history with record-setting performances at the Virginia Challenge on Friday evening. dosReis broke his own school record in the 1,500-meters while Siebert shattred the program mark in the 10,000 meters.
dosReis, who also owns Davidson's top outdoor times in the 800 and mile, previously set the school record in the 1500m last year at the Princeton Elite Relays with a 3:42.71. On Friday, the Rhode Island native bested that time by finishing in 3:40.52 to take eighth at the meet. This time also ranks atop the Atlantic 10 Conference and top-35 in the country ahead of this weekend's action.
Siebert, a sophomore, further etched his name in the Davidson track and field record book by running a 29:24.74 in the 10,000 meters. This broke a ten-year-old record set by Demetrius Pagonis back in 2013 and propelled Siebert into fourth in the conference rankings. Siebert recently also broke the school record in the 5000m at the Duke Invitational on April 8.
Owen Drometer also competed in the 800 meters and nearly set a record of his own. The Medfield, Mass. native set a personal-best mark of 1:49.26 which was just behind dosReis's fresh record of 1:49.04. Drometer and dosReis now sit in second and third place on the A-10 list.
The rest of the track and field squad will compete tomorrow at the USC Open in Columbia, South Carolina.
