By: Eamon Bednarcik

The Armory Track and Field Center hosted two days of competition and seventeen events. This was the Pioneers' first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships and there was a lot of action on the final day of competition.

Lance Hayes gave the men their first medal of the weekend after a second-place finish in the 400m. The senior ran a 48.74 in the 400m finals on day two after qualifying with a personal best on day one. Jordan Leon finished the 800m finals in 1:57.50 coming in fifth place after running another personal best in the prelims on day one.

In the pole vault, Benjamin Mandler finished his day in sixth place. The first-year cleared a season's best 4.13m. While in another field event, Aidan Glennon would go on to grab the lone gold medal for the men. Glennon blew out the competition in his third attempt throwing 16.07 meters giving him a new personal best and the gold medal.

In the final event of the weekend, the men's 4x400m team finished in fourth. The quartet of Connor Meikle, Matthew Papajohn, Colin Brown, and Lance Hayes finished just outside of medal contention running the fastest time of any 4x400m team this season in 3:18.70.

The Pioneers finish their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships with 45 points coming in seventh overall.

The Pioneers are back in action on Mar. 7-8 at the New England Intercollegiate Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, Mass.
