SOMERVILLE -- With a strong performance as the
championship season began, the Tufts University men's outdoor track
& field team hosted and finished as the runner-up at the 2010 New
England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Championships at
Dussault Track on Saturday. Coach Ethan Barron's team won five
events.
The Jumbos finished the 21 conference championship
events with a total of 155.50 points scored, well ahead of third place
Bates (129). Williams College won the team title with 167.70 points.
The Jumbo pair of seniors Jared Engelking
(Westborough, MA) and Trevor Donadt (Northborough, MA) swept
the hurdle events. Engelking won the 110 for the second straight year
with a time of 14.62 seconds. That was just 0.04 shy of the conference
record. Donadt, who was second in the 110 (14.98 seconds), won the 400
meter hurdles in 53.97 seconds. That snuck under the 54.30 NCAA
provisional mark.
Freshmen Michael Blair (Wellesley, MA) and
Brad Nakanishi (Scarborough, ME) stepped up and provided 10-point
victories to the Tufts total. Blair topped a competitive high jump event
with his best of 6'3 1/4" (1.91m). Nakanishi popped a 15'2 3/4" (4.64m)
in the pole vault to beat the rest of the field by six inches.
Tufts also had the fastest foursome at the meet, winning
the 4x100-meter relay in 42.95 seconds. Freshman Vinnie Lee (Walpole,
MA), senior Marc Soskin (Minnetonka, MN), freshman Gbola
Ajayi (Lagos, Nigeria) and freshman Lomie Cunningham (Bergen, NJ)
were the speedy relay. Tufts also got runner-up finishes in the sprints
from Soskin and Lee. Soskin ran 11.27 seconds in the 100 and Lee crossed
the 200 finish line in 22.58 seconds.
Senior Jesse Faller (Burlington, MA) was edged in
the 5,000 meters (14:53.91). Senior Isaiah Paramore (Charlotte, NC)
added another second in the long jump, going 22'4 1/2" (6.82m).
Tufts continues its championship season home-stand next
weekend (Apr. 30-May 1) when the host the New England Division III
Championships at Dussault Track.
