Trinity Distance Medley Relay Qualifies For Men's Indoor Track Nationals
Hartford, Conn., Mar. 12, 2009 - The Trinity College Bantam distance medley relay foursome of senior Sam Moorhead (Dedham, Mass.), junior Alex Baillargeon (Westbrook, Maine), sophomore Brendan Powers (Middleton, Mass.) and freshman Dan Scully (Amston, Conn.) has qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championship Meet on Mar. 13-14 at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana. The distance medley relay is scheduled for Friday, March 13 at 6:25 p.m. local time. The Bantam men's track team, coached by George Suitor, finished sixth in the New England Division III Championships, 19th in the New England Open Championships, and 10th in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Championships over the last three weeks.
The Trinity men's distance medley relay team qualified for the National Meet with its fifth-place time of 10:00.18 in the Valentine Invitational on February 13. Trinity put a relay team together in this event in each of the last three weekends, earning All-New England Division III, All-New England Open, and All-ECAC accolades for the squad with eight different runners. This particular foursome showed its versatility over the last month with two All-New England performances in the 4x800-meter relays, before a third-place performance in the distance medley at the ECAC Championships last weekend.
