Meet Results
WESTFIELD -- Senior Jesse Faller (Burlington, MA) ran to
wins in the 800 meters and 1,500 meters for the Tufts University
men's outdoor track & field team on Saturday at Westfield State
College's Jerry Gravel Classic. Faller's 20 points scored were more
than half of Tufts' 35 total, which placed them seventh out of 16
teams at the meet.
Faller won two tight races. He beat UConn's Alex Bennatan by 0.86 to
win the 1,500 meter run with a 3:59.38 time. His time of 1:56.22 in the
800 meters won in a photo finish, with Wesleyan's Chris Coleman second
at 1:56.29.
Junior Alex Gresham (Milton, MA) scored six points for the
Jumbos with a third-place effort in the hammer throw. He was the top
Division III finisher with 166'7" (50.77m) distance. Tufts also got a
fourth from freshman long jumper Gbola Ajayi (Lagos, Nigeria). He
went 20'7" (6.27m), also the best for Division III at the meet.
Tufts hosts the annual Snowflake Classic next Saturday in Somerville.
