The Princeton men's track team won 10 of 15 events to dominate the competition at the annual Princeton Relays held at Jadwin Gymnasium Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers were particularly strong in the middle-distance and long-distance races on the track. Paul Rosa won the mile in 4:23.45 to lead four Princeton runners in the top five, while Richard Stewart and Alexis Tingan took the top two places in the 600-meter run. Freshman Josh Wolfe had an impressive performance in the 800 meters, winning that race in a time of 1:57.24, while sophomore John Charlesworth took the 3,000 meters in 8:45.39. Junior Kyle Whitaker won the pole vault event for the Tigers by leaping nearly 16-1, while sophomore Nate Crumpton's leap of 6.93 meters (22 feet, nine inches) made him an easy winner in the long jump. Sophomore Matt McNamara's toss of 53 feet, 7 3/4 inches won the 35-lb. weight throw event by more than three feet.
Princeton also took two sprint events--the 300 meters, where Brian Shields and Justin Reed finished 1-2, and the 60-meter hurdles, where Ray Lenihan's fast time of 8.17 was good for first place.
