Men's Track in 11th Following Day One of Division III New England Championships

NEW LONDON, CONN (May 2, 2025) - The Tufts University men's track and field team finish day one of the Division III New England Championships in 11th place out of 24 teams in a solid start to the two day competition at the United States Coast Guard Academy down in New London.

Senior Eric Meyer picked up the first points of the day for the Jumbos with a sixth place finish in the hammer throw. He earned the triplet of points with a toss of 50.36m earning him an All-New England nod. Fellow senior Ross Miller took fifth in the javelin throw, setting a new personal best with an impressive mark of 59.82m. It was the second longest throw in program history, and plenty to earn him a spot on the All-New England roster.

First year Dylan Moreno sits in sixth in the decathlon following fifth place finishes in the high jump and 400m run. His points tally of 2918 sits just ahead of Cole Anderson. Anderson finished seventh overall in the decathlon following day one, and managed to take first place in the shot put with a 12.10m toss.

Senior Noah Turner booked a spot in the 100m dash after he finished eighth in the preliminary heat with a 10.77. He will compete in the 100m finals tomorrow at 1:10 pm. 

The Jumbos will resume competition in New London tomorrow morning at 11:30 am.
