For the second consecutive week, senior Nate Hunter has reset the school record for the shot put with a winning chuck of 19.49m (63'11.50) at the Boston Indoor Games on Friday evening, powering the Huskies to a second-place team finish.

Two weeks ago, Hunter originally broke the Northeastern benchmark with a toss of 19.37m (63'6.75) at the Harvard Invitational. At the time, Hunter's heave was tops in the country. Currently, he owns the second-longest throw in the country after Arizona State's Ryan Whiting recorded a mark of 20.16m (66'1.75) in his first trial of the season.

This past Thursday, Hunter was named to the Colonial Athletic Association's Silver Anniversary team for his achievements as Friday's win marks his 27th-career triumph in the shot put and discus events. The Gloucester, Mass. native has claimed all five shot put competitions he's entered in 2009-10.

Switching from throws, Northeastern dominated the jumps events and claimed 13 top 10 finishes all together to help capture second place out of 18 teams.

Junior Andrew Staples and newcomer Tejorn Davis joined Hunter in the winners' circle with victories in the long jump and triple jump, respectively. Staples' leap of 6.88m and Davis' spring of 14.24m were both good enough to seal victory. Staples also finished third in the high jump after leaping over 1.98m. Junior Brian Racca joined Davis in the triple jump, putting together a fourth-place combination of 14.10m.

Brian Daly became Northeastern's fourth winner of the evening, taking the pole vault event, clearing 4.70m. Rookies Rafael Rodriguez and Nick Casbarro tied for fifth in the same event after posting marks of 4.25m.

Third-year competitor Brendan Bergson took second in the long jump with a clearance of 6.78m.

Rookie Anthony Gentles was clocked in 51.45 for fifth place in the 400-meter dash while sophomore Daniel Grant broke the tape in 2:32.40 for sixth in the 1,000-meter run.

In the 55-meter hurdles, freshman Chris Conway turned out a fifth-place time of 7.78.

Junior Alex Iannetta closed out the field competition with a heave of 15.26m in the weight throw for fourth place.

The Huskies return to Harvard to take on all challengers in the Battle of Beantown on Saturday, February 6.
