BRUNSWICK, Me. -- Senior quad-captain Jared Engelking
(Westborough, MA) of the Tufts men's indoor track &

March.
Engelking's performance highlighted the Tufts effort, which
resulted in a fourth-place showing out of five teams. He won the
preliminary round with a time of 7.92 seconds, and then was 0.38
faster than MIT's Eric Boyer in the final.
Freshman Michael Blair (Wellesley, MA) produced
the only other Tufts win, clearing 6'1 1/2" (1.87m) for first place
in the high jump. Teammate Isaiah Paramore (Charlotte,
NC) was the runner-up in the event.
Freshman Nick Ferrentino (Old Tappan, NJ) also
produced eight second-place points in the 5,000 meters, finishing
with a 16:01.80 time. Classmate Dan Kirschner (Short Hills,
NJ) had a third-place run in the 800 meters, crossing the
finish line with a 1:59.34 time.
The Jumbos scored 74 points overall. MIT won the meet with 264
points. Springfield (108) and the host Polar Bears (92) were second
