Tvrdy, a sophomore, started the new season strong by winning the mile and placing second in the 3000 meters at the Fire Starter Invite last Saturday in T. Fleming Fieldhouse.

Tvrdy ran a personal best time of 4:39.68 in the mile and crossed the finish line 12 seconds ahead of his closest competitor.  He also moved into the #6 slot on the Knox men’s all-time top 10 individual list for the indoor mile.

In addition, Tvrdy went up against eight other runners in the 3K and had the fastest time of anyone associated with a college team in finishing second overall.  Besides track and field athletes from five schools, the meet included individual (unattached) participants and others affiliated with a club team.
