CAMPBRIDGE, Mass. – Although no team results were kept, The Roger Williams University Men's Track & Field team had a successful Saturday at the MIT Invite as multiple athletes set new personal records, and
Sam Bielawa (Portsmouth, R.I.) qualified for New England Championships in the triple jump after a second-place finish.
The triple jump was not the only event Sam would medal in, as he would also claim second in the long jump, and was a member of the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams that would claim fourth and fifth places respectively. Alongside Bielawa on the 4x100 relay team was
Jon Gladstone (Fairfield, Conn.),
Brendan Truman (Vernon, Conn.), and
Sean Donovan (Glastonbury, Conn.). Gladstone also accompanied Bielawa on the 4x400 relay team, which was rounded out by
Nathan Labossiere (Stoughton, Mass.), and
Adam Horwitz (Winchester, Mass.).
The Hawks also had two teams claim second and third in the 4x800 relay event as
Liam Engel (Holliston, Mass.),
Raffi Manzo (North Smithfield, R.I.),
Chris Olean (Smithfield, R.I.),
Vince Tarolli (Syracuse, N.Y.) was followed across the finish line by Horwitz,
Alexander Kalber (Middletown, Conn.),
Jake Rocheleau (West Hartford, Conn.), and
Wesley Baccay (Chappaqua, N.Y.).
Two other Hawks would go on to claim top five finishes as
Jack Bielawa (Portsmouth, R.I.) would claim fifth in the triple jump, and
Trey Generali (Middlebury, Conn.) continued his success in the 3000m Steeplechase, claiming fourth.
