NORTH EASTON -- Senior Jared Engelking (Westborough,
MA) and junior Billy Hale (Menlo Park, CA) both won events to
top a list of solid performances by the Tufts University men's outdoor
track & field team at the Skyhawk Invitational hosted by Stonehill
College on Saturday. The Jumbos took second place as a team out of 13
with 127 points.
Engelking was first in the 110 meter hurdles with a time
of 15.21 seconds, a half-second victory over Division II Assumption
College's Anthony Dowd. Hale nipped Boston College's James LaGreca at
the finish line to win the 800 meter run, 1:59.31 to 1:59.44.
The Jumbos scored 40 points in second-place finishes.
Junior Ryan Lena (Orono, ME) was 1.58 seconds off the pace in the
3,000 meter steeple chase with his 10:00.36 runner-up time. Junior
quad-captain Nick Welch (Seattle, MA) earned another distance
second for the Jumbos with his 15:27.72 in the 5,000 meter run. A small
high jump field of five had Jumbo junior Isaiah Paramore (Charlotte,
NC) in second with a 6'2" (1.87m) best. Sophomore Sam Read's (Barkhamsted,
CT) clearance of 13'11 1/4" in the pole vault was also second, as
was the 148' flat (45.12) hammer throw by freshman Matt Williams
(Punta Gorda, FL).
The Tufts 4x100 meter relay of sophomore James
Wheeler (Hanover, MA), senior quad-captain Kevin Fitzgerald
(Scarborough, NY), freshman Ben Crastnopal (Doylestown, PA)
and senior Phil Rotella (Louisville, KY) was a hair out of second
with a time of 44.31 seconds. Rotella also had an individual third in
the 100 meter dash (11.21 seconds).
The Jumbos compete at Northeastern University's Solomon
Invitational next Saturday (Apr. 11).
