Track teams finish their strong season in Boston
Hopkins had a very good showing on the relay side, as all three teams set season-best marks. The 4x220 yard relay team, comprised of Osborn, Ireton, senior co-captain Jessica Reeves and freshman Anita Mikkilineni, placed 11th with a time of 1:49.80 in the event. With a school-record performance of 9:39.05, the 4x880 relay team of Ireton, Hogen and freshmen Kit Harris and Martina Dodd claimed third place. The same four women came back to run the distance medley relay, which was able to place fourth with a time of 12:32.94, just shy of the school record.
On the men's side, the Jays were lead by sophomore David Sigmon's performance in the 3,000-meter run. Sigmon's personal best time of 8:49.62 earned the Jays one point as he finished in eighth place.
"It's been a frustrating season for me," Sigmon said, "so to come out and run well was a huge relief."
Fellow sophomore Graham Belton wasn't far behind Sigmon as he took 13th place in the event, running 8:54.56. Belton went on to compete in the mile, the first Hopkins runner to ever do so in the event at ECACs. His time of 4:20.66 was .28 seconds faster than his own school record, earning him the 10th spot
in the standings.
In the 5,000-meter run, senior co-captain Patrick Brandon broke his own school record for the second time this season as he crossed the line in 15:06.67, dropping his record another 6.02 seconds.
Fellow senior co-captain James Bronson captured eleventh place in the 1,000-meter run as he also broke his own school record by .01 seconds.
Senior Tristan Thomas, the lone sprinter representing the Jays, placed 19th in the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.70. Thomas also took 19th in the 200-meter dash with a 23.01 second performance. Sophomore Nate Sotuyo's time of 1:58.28 was good for 19th place overall.
In the field, junior Matt Trachtenberg vaulted his way to 4.40 meters, just .01 meters shy of his season's best. The vault had Trachtenberg tied for 10th place in the event.
