Bowdoin College
Gupta Silver in Long Jump at ECAC
Tweedie vaults to bronze
The weather in Maine was better than some past outdoor meet conditions, but the action was indoors as MIT travelled to Bowdoin for the ECAC Division III championship. Tech scored fifteen points, placing 20th as the 39 schools from New England, New York, and New Jersey variously used the meet as a season capper, a last chance qualifier, or tune-up for the NCAA meet.
In the former category, Nalini Gupta continued a, placing in both the long jump (2nd) and triple jump (8th). Her long jump, at 17'1.5", was her 2nd meet in a row over 17' and she now has the 1 and 3 performances on the MIT lists. Among athletes in the latter grouping, Cat Tweedie cemented her spot as TechTrack's top point scorer for the season by placing third with a 11'6.5" clearance - her sixth meet of the season over that height. Chinwe Nyenke (triple jump - 9th), Andrea Staid (500 - 11th), Christine Fanchiang (pole vault - 10th), and Adrienne Irmer (weight - 19th) rounded out the MIT participation.
It's now down to two to the season finale, as Tweedie and Martha Buckley (5000) head to Wisconsin in pursuit of national honors.
