Results

The Northeastern men's track & field team took part in its second competition of the year as the Huskies attained five top-three finishes, including another victory for veteran Nate Hunter at the Harvard Open on Saturday in Cambridge.

Hunter demolished the field by more than 1.3m as the Huskies' All-American uncorked a toss of 17.97 for the shot put title. The next closest competitor registered a toss of 16.65m. At last week's Jay Carisella Track & Field Invitational, Hunter logged a toss of 18.19m. Both of Hunter's marks this season have surpassed the NCAA Provisional-qualifying standard.

Junior Jordan Thull punched his ticket to the IC4A Championship with his second-place clearance of 4.85m in the pole vault. Additionally, Brian Daly leaped over 4.40m for fifth place in the same event.

Senior Jonathan Hall turned out a second-place showing of 1:57.67 in the 800-meter run while freshman Chris Conway was clocked in 8.37 for 60-meter hurdles, warranting a third-place finish.

Turning to the field, Freshman Tejorn Davis picked up a third-place finish with a mark of 13.94m in the triple jump.

Junior Justin Benjaminsen sprung 1.95m in the high jump to tie his teammate, senior Adrian Li. Li cleared 1.95m as well, improving upon last week's measure of 1.93.

The Huskies return to the track after the New Year when they compete in the Dartmouth Relays, starting on Friday, January 8 in Hanover, N.H.
