BOSTON, MA.- The TCNJ track and field team kept up the dominant running at the David Hemery Invitational at Boston University on Saturday, continuing the exponential growth as the season goes on. For both the men's and women's teams, it was another great weekend for TCNJ track and field.
 
The men's 4x400-meter relay team highlighted the track team in Boston, claiming a new school record in the event. The relay of Andrew Lodge, Roman Rychkov, Tyler Scott and Jason Engler ran a time of 3:15.54 to write themselves in the record books.
 
Lodge claimed a new school record of his own in the 400-meter dash with a time of 48.57. This new school record tops his old personal best indoors by nearly a full second.
 
Engler came less than two-tenths of a second away from a new personal record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.69 seconds. This time was enough to earn him 11th in the event.
 
Justin Gomez was just .05 seconds away from a personal best in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.13 seconds. With a time of 7.13 seconds, Gomez finished 20th in the event.
 
Tom Domozych ran a personal best in the 200 with a time of 22.17 seconds. This tops his old indoor best by almost half a second.
 
On the women's side, the 4x400-meter relay team was also firing on all cylinders, running the third best time in school history along with the second best in the nation this year. The team of Maria Grill, Eliza Bruncaj, Allison Uhl and Megan Gasnick put together a time of 3:50.28.
 
Grill marked a new personal best in the 200 with a time of 24.98. This time is not only the 12th fastest in the country this season, but also the third fastest 200-meter dash in school history.
 
Bruncaj was just .07 away from her personal best performance in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.14 seconds. This mark was enough to earn her 10th place for the event.
 
Valandra Riggins had a second-place finish in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.85 seconds. This time is also her personal best time in the 60-meter dash by .05 seconds.
 
TCNJ track and field will take the next week to fully prepare themselves for the NJAC Championships on Monday, February 20th in Staten Island, N.Y. at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex with the first event starting at 4:00 PM.
