Results

BOSTON, MASS. – The Bryant University indoor track and field team had a successful outing at the NEICAAA Championship last weekend as four athletes broke through into Bryant's all-time Top 10 list including a broken record in the 4x800 relay.

COACH SWITZER COMMENTS
 "With 20 individual competitors and two relays, New England's turned out to be a great weekend for us. The team responded great after running well last weekend with the Men's 4x800 record highlighting the meet for us. We've been putting in some solid training as a team and it's great to see things starting to come together."
