Meet Results

DEDHAM -- Senior Dan Marcy (Middletown, NY) improved his NCAA provisional qualifying mark in the triple jump and joined four other Jumbos in winning events at Northeastern University's Solomon Husky Invitational on Saturday. The meet did not have team scoring.

Marcy went 46'2 1/2" (14.08m), two inches longer than his mark at Stonehill College last weekend. Sophomore Trevor Donadt (Northborough, MA) was close to the NCAA marks in both hurdle events at Northeastern, winning the 400 in 54.8 seconds and placing second in the 110 in 15.13 seconds.

Junior Phil Rotella (Louisville, KY) also had a solid double for the Jumbos, winning the 200 meter dash in 22.32 seconds and posting a runner-up time of 11.19 seconds in the 100. Sophomore Scott Brinkman (Alamo, CA) led a 1-2 Tufts performance in the 800 meters, winning with a 1:57.04 time. Classmate Billy Hale (Menlo Park, CA) was right behind him in 1:57.28. Sophomore Andrew Longley (Short Hills, NJ) also gave Tufts a 1-2 finish in the 400 hurdles, coming in behind Donadt in 56.15 seconds.

Junior Nick Welch (Seattle, WA) was a run-away winner in the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a 9:41.57 time. The Jumbos also got seconds from seniors Dave Sorensen (Dover, MA) in the 1,500 meters (4:02.79), Chris Kantos (Apple Valley, MN) in the 5K (15:23.17) and Jeremy Arak (Ipswich, MA) in the high jump (6'4"). The 4x100 relay teamed up to finish in 43.68 seconds, also second at the meet.

Tufts has two meets on the schedule for next Saturday (Apr. 19), at MIT and at Princeton University's Larry Ellis Invitational.
