BEREA, Oh. -- Seniors Jesse Faller (Burlington,
MA) and Jared Engelking (Westborough, MA)
of the Tufts University men's track & field team produced Jumbo
highlights at the 2010 NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships
hosted by Baldwin-Wallace College on Thursday through Saturday.
Faller earned the seventh All-American honor of his Jumbo
running career on Thursday night when he finished fifth in the
10,000 meters. Engelking set a Tufts decathlon record by scoring
6,914 points over two days at the NCAA's, placing seventh in the
event for All-American honors.
Faller's time of 30:37.75 in the 10K gave him his first-ever
All-American performance outdoors. He is a three-time cross country
All-American, and three times he also earned national honors at the
NCAA Indoor Championships. Faller completed a long-distance double
at NCAA's by competing in the 5,000 meters on Saturday as well. He
was 12th in the NCAA 5K with a 15:03.92 time.
Engelking stood 11th after five events in the decathlon. He
scored a total of 3,494 points on Thursday, 30 behind the
eighth-place spot that would give him All-American honors. He ran
the 100 meters in 11.44 seconds for 765 points and finished the 400
meters in 49.77 seconds for 825 points. He added 3,420 points in
the five events on Friday, jumping four spots into seventh. His
Friday action included a high of 879 points with a time of 14.76
seconds in the 110-meter hurdles. This marks the second straight
year that Engelking is an All-American at the NCAA Outdoor
decathlon. Engelking's 6,914 points surpass the previous Tufts
record of 6,871 points set by Skip Pagel in 2009.
Senior Trevor Donadt (Northborough, MA) was
also in action on Thursday, but failed to qualify for the finals of
the 400-meter hurdles with his time of 54.26 seconds in the
preliminaries.
The six points scored by Faller and Engelking placed Tufts in a
tie for 45th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
