Coach Sean Livingston stated, "Liam Tracey scored a number of points in the relays, the 100, the 200, the 400, and the long jump. Kyle Rector pr'd in the hammer, 110 hurdles, and 400 hurdles, disc, and pole vault. Zach Santoro earned his personal best in the 110 hurdles and the javelin throw. David McCardle received his personal record in the javelin as well. Nick Pietrini and Zach Dowling also pr'd in the 110 hurdles. The distance group ran well in the 800 and 1500 and senior co-captains Ben Joly and Sam Lugo scored vital points in the throwing events. We were hoping to defend our title from last year but Nichols College proved to be a little better today. We made them go out and work to earn it so we don't have any regrets. Several athletes move on to compete at the New England Championships next week."
