BC Highlights

Record-setting performances in the field events began the day for the Eagles. Junior Fallyn Boich broke her own school record in the javelin once again, placing first in the event with her toss of 44.05m (144'6"). Boich's throw put her in the top 48 competitors in the event in the NCAA East.
The other field event that saw an impressive performance was the high jump, in which freshman Elizabeth Knoll earned her outdoor PR, hopping 1.70m (5'7"), also placing in first to win the event. Knoll's jump also fell within the top-4 of BC's all-time heights in the high jump.
Sophomore Julia Barron won the 400m hurdles with her time of 1:01.94, setting a new personal best and the second best all-time mark at Boston College. Barron's time also qualified her for the ACC Championships in Tallahassee in two weeks.
The Eagles swept the top three places in the 5K. Leading the way was senior Maggie Mullins, posting a time of 17:40.2. Second and third places were taken by redshirt freshman Ashbrook Gwinn (17:49.6) and sophomore Clarissa Modde (18:04.4), respectively.
The 4x100m of Daniel, Celli, Hannon, and Gross broke their season best time from the Penn Relays that was set just days before, running at 48.01 at the Skyhawk Invite, placing third.
In the 200m, senior Carly Daniel prevailed for first place and sophomore Johanna Celli placed third, both performances personal bests.
