MIDDLEBURY, Vt. — Two school records highlighted the Middlebury track and field team participation in the two-day Open New England Championships recently at Williams College.
The men finished in a tie for 13th out of 37 scoring teams at the event, while the women wound up tied for 36th of 40 squads who tallied points.
In the men’s events, the 4 x 400-meter relay team of Arden Coleman, James Mulliken, Jimmy Martinez and Alex Nichols of Brunswick finished second in the event with a time of 3:11.95, just .13 seconds behind the winning quartet from the University of Rhode Island. That mark is the fastest time this season in Division III and shatters the previous school-record time of 3:16.47 set in 2005.
Nichols and seven of his Middlebury teammates competed in Geneva, Ohio, this weekend in the NCAA Division III Championships.
