NEW LONDON, Conn. -- In the second meet of the 2007 outdoor track & field season, the Tufts University men captured the Coast Guard Invitational on Saturday. The Jumbos out-scored host Coast Guard 224-194 as the two teams dominated the rest of the seven-team field.

Head coach Ethan Barron's squad swept the hurdles and relay events for big points. In the 110 meter hurdles, freshman Ikenna Acholonu (Shoreline, WA) won in 15.46 seconds, nipping Babson's Dan Cowan by the closest of margins (0.01). Jumbo junior Nathan Scott (East Hartford, CT) won the 400 meter hurdles in a time of 58 seconds flat.

Scott also factored into the Tufts relay victories. In the 4x100, the Jumbos ran a quick time of 43.23 seconds to edge Division II New Haven (43.25). The winning foursome was senior Mickey Ferri (Stamford, CT), Scott, senior tri-captain Fred Jones (Northampton, MA) and freshman Andrew Longley (Short Hills, NJ). Scott also ran the second leg of the 4x400, joined by freshman Scott Brinkman (Alamo, CA), Dan Stone (Hamden, CT) and senior Dustin Virgilio (Pittsfield, MA), for a 3:26.17 winning time.

Ferri was also an individual winner in the 100 meter dash (11.27 seconds).

Tufts travels to Lowell for the annual Davis Invitational next Saturday (Apr. 14).
