BOSTON, Mass.- The men's and women's track & field program had a strong weekend during this weekend's Northeast-10 Indoor Championships held at THE Track at the New Balance Center. The men's and women's teams finished 6th and 10th respectively in the team standings.
Reese Casinelli earned the highest finish of the competition for the men's team, with a second place result in the 400-meter. Casinelli's time of 48.42 seconds not only eclipsed his own program record, but also met the NCAA provisional qualifying time for the National Championships.Â
Matai Hazel scored in two individual events for the men; the 60m and 200m. After setting the second-fastest 200m time in school history in the prelims (22.20), Hazel would go on to finish sixth in 200m and seventh in the 60m.Â
Reese Casinelli,
Matai Hazel,

Rihanna Burgher, and
