BOSTON, Mass.-Competing in their final meet of the 2011-12 regular season, the men's and women's track & field squads finished with fast times and high marks. The sprinters competed on Boston University's fast track at the Valentine's Invitational, while the distance and field events competed on the other side of the Charles River at the MIT CO-ED Invitational.
On the Men's side freshmen Carlos Romer (Boston, Mass.) and Alex Tran (Lawrence, Mass.) both sped to personal bests at the MIT Invitational. Chandler Davies (Hartford, Conn.), Jeremy Israel (Medfield, Mass.) and Ryan Manning (Hanover, Mass.) raced to chart-topping times in their events at the Valentine's Invitational.
Israel registered his second ECAC qualifying mark with a 50.61s performance in the 400-meter dash. The time breaks his own school record, and currently ranks him 20th entering into the Division III Indoor New England Champion ship taking place this weekend.
The Division III New England Indoor Track & Field Championships will take place this weekend, with Israel travelling to Springfield College and Rapsis to Smith College.
