SPRINGFIELD � Tufts University junior Jared Engelking
(Westborough, MA) hit NCAA provisional marks in two events and
senior Phil Rotella (Louisville, KY) broke the school record in
the 100 meters at the New England Division 3 Men�s Outdoor Track & Field
Championships hosted by Springfield College on Thursday through
Saturday.
Engelking scored 6,582 points in the decathlon to place second in the
event. That score improves his previous NCAA mark of 6,094 set in
Florida at the first meet of the season. Also at Springfield, Engelking
had an NCAA provisional time of 14.77 seconds in the 110-meter hurdle
event of the decathlon. He scored an outstanding 878 points toward his
total with the time, which beat the 14.9 provisional qualifier. He also
had an excellent time of 51.37 seconds in the decathlon 400 meters for
753 points.
Rotella put down a time of 10.9 seconds in the preliminaries of the
100 meters, faster than the previous Jumbo record of 10.95 seconds run
by Greg Hutton 18 years ago in 1991. Rotella placed fifth in the 100
finals with a time of 11.12 seconds.
Tufts placed seventh at the meet overall, scoring 48.83 points.
Williams College won the regional championship with a 136.66 point
total. Tufts was third among NESCAC schools, with Bates placing fifth
with 51 points.
Senior quad-captains James Bradley (Atkinson, NH) and Colin
Fitzgerald (Scarborough, NY) had runner-up efforts for the Jumbos.
Bradley tied for second in the high jump, clearing 6�2 �� (1.90m). A
time of 22.90 seconds in the 200 meters put Fitzgerald in second.
The Jumbos compete at the Open New England Championships next weekend
at UMass (May 7-9).
