Gaynor ran the second-fastest time in school history for 8,000 meters, clocking a 26:21 to finish 10th out of 237 runners at the Lebanon Valley Invitational. In just his second race at Drew and his first 8K, the junior transfer became the first Ranger to break 27 minutes in 11 years while finishing just four seconds behind the school record set by Gordon Kenny in 1992.
