St. John Fisher University Athletics

Peter Girardi (Cicero/Cicero-North Syracuse) of the St. John Fisher College men’s indoor track and field team has been named the College’s Male Athlete of the Week after setting a new program benchmark in the 800-meter dash at the RIT Invite.

Girardi took the top spot in the event with a time of 1:56.22, which broke the previous college record. His 800 flat time converts to a banked track time of 1:54.9, which ranks him 17th in the nation. Girardi now holds national position in five separate events.

A three-time All-American and a two-time national runner-up, Girardi is also ranked in the 60-meter hurdles, the 400-meter dash, the 200-meter dash and the DMR relay.

Men’s track and field returns to action on February 8 as it competes at the Brockport Late Night Invite.
