Staten Island, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State indoor track teams competed at the Fastrack National Invitational at the Ocean Breeze Track & Field Complex on Friday and set two school records. The event consisted of teams from Division I, II and III institutions. Senior Nicolas Fratto (Farmingdale, N.Y.) set the mark in the 200m, while the team of Megan Eiseman (Seaford, N.Y.), Nicole Ferguson (Shirley, N.Y.), Nicole Franz (Melville, N.Y.) and Danielle Losquadro (Bethpage, N.Y.) recorded the school record in the Distance Medley Relay.

In the 200m, Fratto placed fourth of 24 competitors in a record time of 21.84 and also recorded a 27th place finish (out of 87) in the 60m. His time of 7.07 in the 60m ranks third on the FSC All-Time List. Junior Philip Sellitto (Levittown, N.Y.) earned a sixth place finish in the 200m in 22.61, which is now seventh on the FSC All-Time List. In the 400m, Sellitto's eighth place finish in 50.21 is 10th all-time at Farmingdale State.
