Junior Jordan Buckmire breaks his own school record.
BOSTON – University of New Hampshire junior triple jumper Jordan Buckmire (Nashua, N.H.) broke his own school record on Sunday as UNH's men's track & field team took on day two of the ECAC/IC4A competition at the Boston University Track and Tennis Center.
Buckmire's previous indoor triple jump record was set last season at the America East Indoor Championship; the mark stood at 49'5.75". On Sunday Buckmire hit a mark of 49'7.75", which was good for fifth overall in the IC4A triple jump.
Elsewhere in the meet, other Wildcats also scored, several with personal bests, in Sunday's competition. Senior thrower Zachary Astle (Newbury, N.H.) took third in the shot put after finishing runner up in the weight throw on Saturday. Astle's best attempt went 57'6.5", good for a new career-best in the shot put.
In the 3000-meter run, senior Nicolas Sevilla-Connelly (Chester, N.H.) took sixth overall with a new personal best time of 8:13.05. Fellow senior Alexander Saveliev (Concord, N.H.) took seventh in the 1000m, with a time of 2:33.11.
In the 4x800m relay, Saturday's qualifying team of senior Samuel Lanternier (Derry, N.H.), sophomore Spenser Sawyer (Windham, N.H.), Alexander Saveliev, and senior Matthew Adams (Concord, N.H.) finished sixth overall with a finishing time of 7:33.75, which beat Saturday's qualifying time and was UNH's best 4x800 time this season.
The Wildcats finished sixth in the team standings out of 37 teams. UNH tallied 35 total points in the meet.
UP NEXT:
The outdoor track and field season is just two weekends away with the Wildcats heading to the Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State on Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28.
