COACH'S QUOTE
"We finally had some decent weather in the northeast for a meet today. We had several outstanding performances on the weekend starting off with the women all recording PRs in the hammer throw," said associate head coach Joe Gingras. "Samantha Alexander got us started today with a big throw in the discus making the top 10 all-time. The men's and women's steeplechasers had several PRs and America East top 8 performances led by Jacob Tremblay and Lily Porth. We had strong runs from Ryleigh Garrow and Gabby Rausa in the 100H and 400 respectively. Alex Siaton and Finn Patenaude also put together solid runs in the 200 and hurdles as well. Many other season bests as we get final tune ups for America East in two weeks. Some very solid performances from the women's 1500 and 5000m as well."Â
