Senior sprinter Sean Washington successfully defended his 55 meter championship in the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association Indoor Track and Field Championship Meet held last weekend at St. Lawrence.
Washington, who went into the meet as the country's third-ranked sprinter in the event, earned 10 of the Dutchmen's team total of 39 points as he captured the event in 6.49, just off his record of 6.45 that he set as a sophomore, but better than the 6.52 he had in last year's meet. He also scored six team points by taking third in the 200 meter with a time of 22.83.
“We had 16 personal best, or personal records during the meet,” said assistant head coach Dave Riggi. “I can't say enough good things about the team this year and how well they performed at UCAA championship. I'm looking forward to a great state meet where I expect another great day of personal bests.
“Kaity Elias had a fantastic day,” continued Riggi. “She broke her school record in the 55 hurdles by .10 seconds. She also took over a half a second off her 200 time.”
