Catching Up On The Track

News of note from the Dartmouth Relays last weekend. ...

Freshman defensive back Pete Piderman finished fourth in the 60-meter hurdles in a time of 8.48 seconds after running 8.58 in the prelims and 8.60 on the semis. In the finals, he placed behind two runners from team champion Illinois and one from Wheaton.

Junior receiver Brian Evans and freshman running back Rob Mitchelson ran the 60-meter sprint. Evans ran 7.23 and Mitchelson 7.25 to make it out of the prelims. Evans qualified for the finals with a 7.19 in the semis while Mitchelson ran 7.34. Evans finished seventh in the finals in 7.12. Junior corner John Manning had hoped to run but sat the meet out to guard against injury. (Click here for results.)

Former wide receiver Andrew Hall competed in the first four events of the heptathlon before withdrawing. He ran 7.36 in the 60, long-jumped 20-5, tossed the shot 47.7 and high jumped 5-10. Olympic hopeful Mustafa Abdur-Rahim won the event at his old Dartmouth stomping ground despite not competing in the pole vault because of injury.
