Meet Results

Sam Haney led off an all-freshman win in the 4x800 relay

MEDFORD -- In a relatively brief season of action at the Gantcher Center, the Tufts University men's indoor track & field team finished its home action for 2009-10 by winning three events at the Tufts Invitational II on Friday and Saturday. It was a non-scoring meet.

Senior Jesse Faller's (Burlington, MA) victory in the mile run was by the narrowest margins. His 4:17.19 time won a photo finish against Chris Brown from Brandeis, who had a 4:17.20 finish.

The other two Tufts victories came in the relays. The 4x400 group of freshman Lomie Cunningham (Bergen, NJ), senior quad-captain Jared Engelking (Westborough, MA), senior Jason Hanrahan (Westport, CT), and senior Scott Brinkman (Alamo, CA) posted a time of 3:30.95 to beat Brandeis by four-tenths of a second.

An all-freshman 4x8 relay foursome ran to a solid five-second win, with Sam Haney (Essex, CT), Adam Brosh (Agoura Hills, CA), Kyle Marks (Carmel, IN), and Dan Kirschner (Short Hills, NJ) combining for an 8:06.67 time.

Another freshman, Matt Rand (Cape Elizabeth, ME), was the runner-up in the 3,000 meter run with an 8:50.81 time.

In a pentathlon event held at Gantcher on Friday night, Tufts sophomore Tobias Reeuwij (Honolulu, HI) was third overall with a score of 3,161 points. He won the 1,000 meters portion (2:45.90). On Saturday, the Jumbos also got thirds from freshman Mike Blair (Wellesley, MA) in the high jump (6'3"/1.91m) and junior Alex Gresham (Milton, MA) in the weight throw (46'11"/14.31m).

The Jumbos compete at the annual Valentine Invitational at Boston University next Saturday, the last meet before the championship season begins.
