CATS VERSUS AMERICA EAST
While Vermont has not had any athletes compete on the track this spring, the throwers have ranked several among the best in America East for their events. Wapshare and Aidan Peterson still hold the second-longest javelin throw, at 37.45 and 53.75 meters, respectively. In other events, Abby Martin (Javelin), Kevin Mills (Javelin), and Alexander (Discus) all hold the fourth-highest marks in the conference.
