Wildcats compete in Princeton in the postseason.
PRINCETON, N.J. - Freshman jumper Nate Hobbs (Peabody, Mass.) won his second straight long jump event with a mark of over 24 feet, as the Wildcats competed at the ECAC/IC4A championships this past Saturday and Sunday at Princeton.
Hobbs, who just broke the school record and tied the America East record in the long jump last weekend, had another impressive performance in the event, winning on his very first jump, in which he went 24 feet, 7.75 inches, just two inches off his new record set at the conference championships. He is the first Wildcat to win long jump at IC4A's in school history.
Another impressive Wildcat performance came from junior Zachary Astle (Newbury, N.H.) who took runner-up in the shot put with a distance of 55'3.75". Other throwers scoring in the meet included seniors Eric Brogioli (Milford, Mass.) and Jon Chapman (Newport, R.I.) who finished top five in the hammer, both with new personal bests. Brogioli took fourth with a new personal best throw of 192'4" (beating his old mark of 184') and Chapman took fifth with a throw of 192'2" (old was 189'6").
On the track, scoring marks came from junior Nicolas Sevilla-Connelly (Chester, N.H.) in the 3000 meter steeple chase, which he finished in 9:08.39, a new personal best, taking eighth place.
In the 4x800 relay, the team of junior Matthew Adams (Concord, N.H.), junior Samuel Lanternier (Derry, N.H.), senior Brett Hoerner (Manchester, N.H.), and fifth-year Thomas Harter (Seabrook, N.H.) took sixth with a finishing time of 7:48.30.
UP NEXT:
