Medford, Mass.-The Regis College men’s and women’s Indoor track &field teams returned to action at the Tufts Invitational on January 14th. Nearing the end of their final conditioning phase, fatigued bodies and a heavy training period still couldn’t keep the men from setting two new records and women posting positive marks.
On the men’s side freshman sprinter Chandler Davies (Hartford, Conn.) established a new mark in the men’s 400-meter dash. This mark was previously held by teammate Jeremy Israel (Medfield, Mass.) Davies broke Israel’s mark (52.80s) by a slim margin, speeding to a 52.77s performance. If both athletes stay healthy, it’s likely the record will continue to be traded back and forth for the rest of the season. Also notching a record was freshman Owen McQuaid (Marlborough, Mass.) adding a third record-setting performance to his name. McQuaid posted the men’s first performance in the 5,000meter run with a time of 18:53min.
