Junior Jacob Slater set the men's 6K meet record at the 2025 Bill Sudeck Invitational at the University Farm in Hunting Valley, Ohio, on Friday afternoon. Slater was the top finisher among 35 runners in the season-opening race, crossing the finish line in a time of 18:59.45 to narrowly beat out sophomore teammate Donovan Crowley by 0.13 seconds. His time was a 55-second improvement on his previous personal-best time on the course and broke the previous meet-record time of 19:04.6 set by John Carroll's Barrett Schaetzle in 2022. Slater's performance was a part of a dominating season-opening performance for the Spartans, who bested 28th-ranked John Carroll 15-50 at the meet.
