Thomas also had a strong showing to help the 4x100-meter relay team of himself, senior Chris Cottrell, and sophomores James Walker and Pierre Hage. The group earned a fourth-place finish with a time of 43.87.

Sophomore Noah Jampol posted a time of 4:10.40 in the 1500 meter run, earning the 20th place spot.

"It felt good," said Jampol on his performance. "It's still early, and I just wanted to see what kind of shape I was in, so I was pretty happy with what I ran, given the cold and wind."

In the field, junior Adam Waddell continued his strong showing from the indoor season, securing a second place finish in the pole vault with a final vault of 4.57 meters. Junior Peter Li's 13.93 meter throw in the shot put and 41.41 meter throw in the discus were good for tenth and seventh place in those events.

On the women's side, the Jays delivered strong performances from juniors Paula Osborn and Jordan Ireton, as well as freshman Anita Mikkilineni.

Osborn had a strong showing in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes, putting up times of 12.86 and 26.34, good for 15th and 16th place.

Ireton finished in 11th place in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:21.86. Mikkilineni competed in the 100 and 400 meter hurdles, finishing in 16.55 and 1:09.75 to take 15th and 12th place in the events.

All three came back in the 4x100 meter relay to join senior Jessica Reeves in running a time of 51.62, good for seventh place. In the field, senior Becky Lossing tied for third in the high jump with a leap of 1.52 meters. Fellow senior Chantel Priolo took seventh in the javelin throw with a toss of 32.85m.

On the distance side, the Jays had the 25th and 28th place finishes in the 1500 meter run, with junior Rachel Hogen running 5:00.73 and sophomore Mira Patel running 5:03.72. Freshmen Christina Valerio and Megan Brower finished 16th and 19th in the 5000 meter run, with times of 19:43.48 and 20:10.25.

At Goucher, the men were led by strong performances out of freshmen Derek Cheng and Kenny Seidl, and sophomore Chris De Laigelisa. Cheng took first in the 3000 meter run in a time of 9:21.25. Seidl earned fifth place finishes in both the 100 and 200 meter dash, running times of 11.69 and 23.67.
