At Boston University's John Thomas Terrier Classic, Jonathan Volpe finished seventh in the 1000m, breaking the program record with a time of 2:24.53.

William Postell took home his first Rookie of the Week honor after placing first in the Triple Jump at the Harvard Invitational with a personal-best mark of 14.04m. That distance ranks third in the NE10 this season and ranks among the top 100 jumps in all of Division II. Postell also holds the eighth-best Long Jump in the conference this season.

The Owls will compete this weekend at UMass Lowell's Riverhawk Invitational at The Track at New Balance.
