Men's and Women's Indoor Track Championship Recap

Complete Results

BOSTON - Senior Frank Savinon (Franklin Square, N.Y./H. Frank Carey) was Binghamton's lone winner in the two-day America East Championship, capturing the 800 meters in 1:53.53. He becomes the first men's track athlete to capture a Division I individual conference title. Savinon was also part of BU's outdoor 4 x 800 relay that won a title last spring.

The men's team placed sixth out of eight schools with 38.25 points. The BU women were eighth out of nine teams with 19.5 points.

Junior Andrew Cloud (Massapequa, N.Y.) placed third in the weight throw (16.28m), and sophomore Hasani Hampden (Freeport, N.Y.) took third in the pentathlon (3,257 points). The other top-4 performance was put in by freshman Luke Shafer (Penfield, N.Y./McQuaid), who tied for fourth in the high jump (1.93m).

On the women's side, senior Larisa Least (Geneseo, N.Y.) finished third in the 400 in a school-record time of 57.33. Least, who qualified for the ECAC Championship with that time, had broken the school record earlier in the prelims (58.08), but lowered it less than 24 hours later in the final.

Senior Marie Lloyd (Spencerport, N.Y./Churchville-Chili) placed fifth in both the 500 (1:17.54) and the triple jump (11.14m).
