Meet Results

First year Lilly Fisher had New England's fourth-best 10,000-meter run

DEDHAM -- Senior co-captain Andrea Ferri (Dracut, MA) and junior Amy Wilfert (Westborugh, MA) of the Tufts University women's outdoor track & field team both submitted NCAA provisional qualifying times in their events at the 2010 All-New England Championships hosted by Northeastern University on Thursday through Saturday.

In the preliminaries of the 400-meter hurdles, Ferri ran a time of 1:03.86 that was within the 1:04.20 NCAA standard. She went on to finish eighth in the finals and score a point for the Jumbos with a 1:05.34 time. Wilfert improved her qualifying mark in the 1,500 meters with a 4:37.56 time, which was 0.57 faster than her previous qualifying time.

Sophomore Nakeisha Jones (Boston, MA) and first year Kelly Allen (Norton, MA) both had third-place finishes to add to Tufts' fine performance at the All-New England meet. Jones had a best distance of 38' 3 1/2" (11.67m) in the triple jump to score six points. Allen was third in the discus, launching a 141'11" (43.25m) toss that scored six points. Both distances were NCAA provisional qualifiers, though both Jumbos have better marks from earlier in the season.

Tufts scored nine points in the 10,000 meters. First year Lilly Fisher (Kansas City, MO) ran 39:04.30 for five fourth-place points. She was trailed by sophomore Sadie Lansdale (Bethesda, MD) in fifth place (four points), finishing in 39:44.22.

By scoring 22 points, Tufts placed 14th at the meet.
