Farmingdale, N.Y. - Roberts Wesleyan's women and St. Thomas Aquinas' men continued their runs atop the ECC in Outdoor Track & Field by winning conference championships on Saturday afternoon. Roberts Wesleyan won for the fifth straight year, while St. Thomas Aquinas made it a three-peat.
After nearly doubling the point total of the runner-up a year ago, it came down to the final event of the day for Roberts Wesleyan to squeak out their fifth straight title. The Redhawks trailed heading into the final two events, both relays. A first-place finish in the 4x800m (9:45.03) moved Roberts into first and a fifth-place finish in the 4x400m helped them hold on to a narrow one-point victory over District of Columbia.
In addition to their win in the 4x800m, the Redhawks had five other event winners on the day. Ashley Watson led the way with wins in the 5,000m (19:43.44) and 10,000m runs (42:34.68). Other winners included Brianna Randolph (100m - 12.36), Bailey Gostomski (1,500m - 4:55.50), and Amanda Greenwood (high jump - 1.55m). Roberts also had eight other second or third place finishes on the afternoon.
While the winner of the women's meet didn't clinch until the final event, the men's side was a different story with St. Thomas Aquinas dominated the field. The Spartans more than doubled the point total of runner-up Queens, winning by a margin of 228-111.
The Spartans finished first in a whopping 12 of 21 events on the day. Dante Brown, Frankie Schiavone, Rickssen Opont, and St. Jacob Diodonet were all winners of multiple events for the Spartans. Brown won the 100m dash (11.24), the long jump (6.95m), and was part of the winning 4x100m relay team with Jaren Scott, Diodonet, and Jarrett Millien (43.63). Diodonet also won the 200m (22.19) and 400m (49.17) while also coming in first in the 4x400m relay with Lugduni Desrosiers, Mich Philistin, and Josh Mallard (3:22.51).
Schiavone won both the 400m hurdles (58.33) and pole vault (3.25m) while Opont won the shot put (17.20m) and discus (44.84m). Other winners for St. Thomas Aquinas included Stephane Fortune (110m hurdles - 16.49) and Tim Faranda (javelin - 42.54m).
