Boston - The Stony Brook men’s and women’s indoor track and field teams competed in the two-day John Thomas Terrier Invitational Friday and Saturday at Boston University, meeting IC4A/ECAC qualifying standards in eight events.

Coach Ronan’s Take
“This was an opportunity to see how both squads would compete against some quality competition from the region. For the most part I feel we did well. Mike Watts, Mitchell Kun, Holly Manning and the men's 4x400 were the stand out performances.

“Combine the IC4A/ECAC qualifying performances with some very good personal and season-best runs, and I feel we gave a good account of ourselves in this competitive meet.”
