WESTON, Mass.- The Regis College track & field team competed at the Tufts Snowflake Classic this past week. Facing 40-degree temperatures and damp conditions the team still shone brightly amidst overcast skies, aptly posting several strong early-season performances. The Regis athletes took it all in stride notching a couple of school records, personal bests, and top-10 finishes.

 On the track the Pride sprinters set some surprisingly quick times. Kicking it off for the squad in the 100-meter dash was freshman sprinter Chandler Davies (Hartford, Conn.) posting his first mark of the season with a team-leading 11.89s, ranking him as the 2^nd fastest performer in Regis history. He would double-back later in the meet in the 400-meters dash with a time of 52.74s, a mark that was good enough to place him 10^th out of 43 athletes. His training partner Jeremy Israel (Medfield, Mass.) also competed in the 400. His race yielded a new outdoor school record in the quarter-mile with a time of 51.26s. Israel’s time broke the mark set by Adam Heathman (53.01s) a year ago and was just .02s from qualifying for the Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships, also placing him 2^nd in the meet.
