The Tigers also earned eight of the 11 available points in the long jump, with both winner and freshman Matt Brock and senior Derek Davis jumping more than 23 feet. Another freshman, Alex Pessala, won the weight throw with an impressive toss of nearly 59 feet, and senior Ken Stringer finished second in the event.
Tiger cross country stars David Nightingale and Frank Macreery finished 1-2 in the 3,000 meters to help Princeton to victory Sunday, while James O'Toole's time of 4:12.94 was good for a race victory in the mile.
