GORHAM, Me. -- The Tufts University women's indoor track & field team scored 73 points for a third-place finish at the 2010 New England Division III Championships hosted by the University of Southern Maine.

Tufts won one title at the meet, as the 4x400 meter relay was first by 0.43 over Bates. The Tufts time of 4:02.41 was run by sophomore Kayley Pettoruto (Andover, MA), junior Andrea Caruth (Vauxhall, NJ), junior Kaylee Maykranz (Jackson, WY), and senior co-captain Andrea Ferri (Dracut, MA). All except Ferri had been part of the 4x4 that was runner-up at this meet last year.

Sophomore Heather Theiss (North Woodmere, NY) had an outstanding day in the pole vault. Her best effort of 11'5 3/4" (3.5m) was a new school record and matched the NCAA provisional qualifying mark.

S time of 7.4 seconds by senior Logan Crane (Portland, ME) in the 55-meter dash also placed third. Caruth was also third in the 400 (59.08 seconds).

On Friday, Ferri was fourth out of 24 competitors in the pentathlon with a score of 2,999 points combined for the five events. She scored highest in the 55-meter hurdles (750) with a time of 9.11 seconds. She was also successful in the 800 meter run, scoring 728 points with a 2:27.24 time.
