Meet results

Ewing, NJ. … The College of New Jersey men's track and field program overwhelmed the competition on Saturday and Sunday at their home track as the Lions captured their 17^th consecutive New Jersey Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championship title.
 
TCNJ racked up 221.50 points to top the field of 10 teams, outscoring second-place finisher Rowan University (143.50 points) by nearly 80 points. The Lions have won every NJAC title in outdoor track and field since 1998 and did so in dominant fashion as their depth of talent flooded the track and field events over two days.
 
The championship title along with the women's victory also marked the fifth NJAC championship of the year for head coach Justin Lindsey. Lindsey, who took over the program this past summer, won the men's and women's titles in cross country this past fall as well as a men's indoor track and field championship in the winter of 2014.
 
On Sunday, senior Scott Lisa (Highland Park, NJ/Vernon) added another tremendous performance to his illustrious career by winning the high jump by clearing 1.93 meters. The stiffest competition came from his teammate Michael Larkin (Millington, NJ/Watchung Hills), who placed second by matching 1.93 meters. Lisa took top honors by having less failed attempts en route to 1.93.
 
Lisa also finished eighth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.51 seconds. In that event, freshman Zach Hubner (Oradell, NJ/River Dell) chalked up six points with a third-place finish, posting a time of 11.05. Later, Hubner returned to the lanes to place second in the 200-meters with a time of 22.35 and also contributed to a first-place finish in the 4x400 relay race.
 
Hubner was joined by seniors Thomas Kelly (Lawrence, NJ/Lawrence), Dominic Tasco (Bridgewater, NJ/Bridgewater-Raritan) and Michael Spekhardt (Sparta, NJ/Sparta). The foursome posted an ECAC qualifying time of 3:21.22.
 
Tasco was also a part of one of the most exciting finishes of the day. He was narrowly edged at the finish line by Brian Wersan of St. Joseph's of Long Island. Wersan posted the winning time in 1:55.21, while Tasco registered 1:55.51.
 
Four TCNJ runners finished in the top seven in the 1,500-meter event. Rookie Brandon Mazzarella (Marlboro, NJ/Manalapan) led the way, finishing runner-up with a time of 4:02.98.

He finished runner-up with a time of 15:45.10.
