Day 1 Results • Saturday's Results

BOSTON -- The Northeastern track and field program put together one of its finest weekends in program history, resulting in first-place finishes for both the men and women at the New England Championships.
 
It's the program's first dual championship, dating back to 2000 indoor season.
 
The women have now claimed the Championship in consecutive years and three times overall since the 2004 season.

"We had an incredible finish," Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Cathrine Erickson said. "Our men and women have been working very hard and had set winning a New England Championship as one of their goals this year. I am so happy for them, the coaching staff and the program for fighting through all of the adversity. This is truly a Husky victory!"

"I want to thank all of the parents, family, and alumni for coming out to support us this weekend," Erickson said. "It was great to have so much support. This is a great group and we are so proud of each of our athletes, past and present, and we can't wait for our future Huskies to join us here next year!"

It was a weekend to remember as several Huskies had dominating performances in their individual events. The Championships, hosted by Boston University, kicked off on Friday, Feb. 27 and wrapped up on Saturday, Feb. 28.
 
On the women's side, 19 competitors secured a top-10 finish or better.  Lucy Young and Camille Gooden both took home the top spot in 3000-meter run and 500-meter dash. Young took home first place after crossing the finish line in 9:41.06, while Gooden stood in victory lane after completing the dash in 1:13.69.
 
In the 5000-meter run it was the duo of Young and Jordan O'Dea leading the charge for Northeastern as they finished in second and third place, respectively, with times of 16:54.38 and 17:06.26. The pair of O'Dea and Young has been extremely successful for Northeastern this season.
 
The 4x800-meter relay was another successful event for the Huskies as a team composed of Sarah Adler, Corinne Myers, Kate Johnstone and Madeline Bradford completed the event in 9:09.50 to take home second place. In the 60-meter hurdles, Betsy Garnick and Nicole Genard raced well, finishing in second and third place, respectively, with times of 8.78 and 8.86.

Kelsey Sullivan competed in a pentathlon during the course of the weekend, earning an 11th-place finish with an overall score of 2652.
 
For the men, it was another successful weekend that started with Nick Fofana in his heptathlon. The freshman wrapped up a third-place finish with a score of 4490. Jared Lane shined during the weekend, capturing second place in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.90 and the 60-meter hurdles, completing the event in 8.00.

Sollowin took home the top spot with a time of 8:19.64, while Fraielli and Stafford earned third and fourth with times of 8:24.56 and 8:25.52, respectively.
