Molloy Men and UDC Women Repeat as ECC Indoor Track & Field Champions
Full Results
South Huntington, N.Y. - For the second
straight year, both the Molloy men and University of the District
of Columbia women's indoor track and field teams have been crowned
as ECC indoor track and field champions.
In the women's championship, University of the District of
Columbia actually came in second behind Roberts Wesleyan, 143-138.
However, as NCAA Provisional Members, Roberts Wesleyan is
ineligible to win the conference championship thus elevating the
Firebirds to the top spot.
Four different Firebirds won five individual events, led by
Kaydian Jones winning both the 200 meter dash (25.45) and the long
jump (5.69 meters). Other UDC standouts to top individual events on
the day include Brittany Okon (60 meter dash - 7.91), Jerily
Benjamin (400 meter run - 59.73), and Marlena Wright (500 meter run
- 1:20.18).
UDC also topped two relays. The 4 x 200 meter relay team of
Charmaine Sweeney, Christina Baker, Jasmine Smith, and Benjamin as
well as the 4 x 400 meter team of Wright, Benjamin, Simone Grant,
and Jones both crossed the finish line first in their respective
races.
Roberts Wesleyan won six individual events and two relay events.
Rachel Prutsman was a two-event winner taking both the 3000 meter
run (10:45.90) and the 5000 meter run (19:55.30). Rachel Hust (800
meter run - 2:17.42), Rachel Hutchinson (1000 meter run - 3:11.58),
Megan Hulton (Mile Run - 5:33.20), and Hope Olsen (pole vault -
3.00 meters) were other individual champions for the Redhawks.
The Roberts Wesleyan 4 x 800 team of Rachel Putman, Abigail
Monroe, Hust, and Hutchinson and the distance medley team of
Hulton, Hutchinson, Brittany Ward, and Hust also topped their
races.
In the men's championship, Molloy narrowly topped St. Thomas
Aquinas, 138-132. The Lions only won two individual events and one
relay, with winning performances coming from Tyler Capozzoli (500
meter run - 1:07.70), Joseph Johnson (triple jump - 13.18 meters),
and the distance medley team of Thomas Dreyer, Mario Buscemi,
Johnson, and Mike Darnell.
A pivotal event for Molloy came in the triple jump, where the top
five finishers were all Lions to earn the team 30 points.
Johnson put together a solid performance in the winning effort. In
addition to winning the triple jump, he also finished third in the
60 meter hurdles, second with the 4 x 400 meter relay team, first
with the distance medley team, and third in the pole vault.
Other outstanding performers on the day included Robert Wesleyan's
Enock Bor, Queens' Kurt Samuel, and St. Thomas Aquinas' George
Erazo. All three runners won two separate events with Bor taking
the 3000 meter run (9:06.06) and the 5000 meter run
(15:46.78), Samuel topping the 800 meter run (1:58.50) and the mile
run (4:26.00), and Erazo topping the 200 meter dash (22.98) and the
400 meter run (49.75).
