THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
1. A LOT OF ALL-TIMERS — Several new marks were added to Northeastern's All-Time Performance list following last weekend's competition. On the track, Anaya Jones ran the 300m to move into 10th all-time. Waverly Hassman claimed second all-time in the 500m, while Lola Satre Morales earned eighth in the same event. Cailey Freeze recorded the fourth-best time in program history in the 600m, and Jaice Dorsey moved into 10th all-time in the 60m hurdles. On the men's side, Raymond Felton III earned a 10th-place all-time ranking in the 60m, James Ciaccio climbed to third all-time in the 500m, and Iolo Grant posted the second-fastest 60m in program history. In the field events, Camryn Cole highlighted the weekend by earning fourth all-time in the 60m hurdles, breaking the school record in the high jump, and being named CAA Field Athlete of the Week.
2. LAST YEAR REWIND — Last year at the Scarlet & White Invitational, three school records were broken, two of which will be contested again this year. Junior Savannah Blair won the 200m in a record-setting 23.83, the second school record of the season. Junior Camryn Cole capped the day by winning the high jump with a school-record mark of 1.80m, which ranks 28th nationally.
