Men's Track and Field

Josh Wilkie Sets School Record in 60m Hurdles, Jumbos Perform Well at Final Qualifier

MEDFORD, MA (March 8, 2025) - The Tufts University men's indoor track and field team concluded their slate of regular season meets as they hosted the Tufts Final Qualifier at the Gantcher Center on Saturday. 

The Jumbos had a solid day in the field, beginning with a fourth place finish in the long jump by junior Sahr Matturi. His mark of 7.03m was just seven centimeters shy of his personal best. Senior Edward Kiboma took third in the high jump with a mark of 1.98m which was matched by sophomore Sami Witta who finished fourth due to clearing the bar after one more attempt than Kiboma. Junior Martin Decker had a good day at the throwing circle, taking fifth in the weight throw with a toss of 14.61m.

The track saw a couple strong finishes as well, including a new school record set by Josh Wilkie in the 60m hurdles. The junior athlete took second in the preliminary round with an 8.47, before electrifying the competition with a blistering 8.09 in the final round. The personal best for Wilkie broke the previous school record by just 0.07 seconds, but in such a short event the improvement is substantial. Wilkie also qualified for the 2025 NCAA Division III Men's Indoor Track and Field Championships with the record-breaking finish.

The men's 4x400m relay finished the day strong with a second place finish. The group of Brady Kamali, Ethan Forde, Noah Turner and who else, but Josh Wilkie combined for a finish in 3:19.84, two seconds off the best time of the season for the Jumbos.

Tufts will send qualifying athletes to the 2025 NCAA Division III Men's Indoor Track and Field Championships in the Golisano Training Center at Nazareth College on Friday, March 14th with competition beginning at 10:00 am.
