Junior Andrew Staples became Northeastern's first New England Outdoor long jump champion since Isaiah Gregg captured the title in 2004. Staples was the Huskies' lone champion on day two of competition at the New England Championship, coming away with the crown after clearing 7.38m (24'2.5). The measurement was Staples third-best mark of the season.

Northeastern is hosting the New England Championship at its home turf at Solomon Track in Dedham, Mass. It marks the first time NU's gorgeous facility has hosted the region's elite.

Overall team scoring has not been tallied yet and will be announced with the final results upon tomorrow's conclusion.

Staying in the field, junior Alex Iannetta turned in a 10th-place effort in the hammer throw after releasing a toss of 51.88m (170'2). Iannetta's performance on Friday stood as his third-best mark thus far in 2010 as the junior bested 13 other throwers.

Sophomore Eric Milne kick-started the event for Northeastern, placing 19th in the javelin throw. The Plymouth, Conn. native cleared 50.41m (165'5) on Friday morning.
