Men's Track Update

The men's track and field team continued to make the case that they are one of the strongest teams the program has seen in recent years with a third-place finish at the New England Div. III Championships last weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of  Technology (MIT). Senior tri-captain Mitchell Black and senior Veer Bhalla led the way with a win each, as Black won the 800-meter for the second time in his career and Bhalla won the 600-meter for the third consecutive year. The team put up 74 points to finish behind first-place MIT (138) and second-place Williams (132). 

Among other highlights, the Tufts 4x400-meter relay team of sophomore Andrew DiMaiti, first-year Nico Agosti, and juniors Alex Kasemir and Nick Usoff finished just 0.18 seconds behind New England champion MIT to take second.

The Jumbos are back in action this weekend at the NEICAAA Championships, or the Open New England's, at Boston University where they look to continue building momentum during the championship meet season ahead of the NCAA Championships two weeks from now. Look for the Daily's full coverage of the NED3 and Open New England's meets next week.
