WILLIMANTIC, Conn. – The Colby-Sawyer track and field team added four more athletes to the list of New England Championship qualifiers and had their first ECAC Championship qualifier on Saturday afternoon as Amber Cronin (Buxton, Maine), Caitlin Pond (Westborough, Mass.), Joshua Commey (Accra, Ghana) and Brian Saad (Dudley, Mass.) qualified for New Englands and Ryan Laperle (Brooklyn, Conn.) posted a qualifying time for ECAC's in the men's 100m dash.
Cronin posted her qualifying mark in the women's high jump, clearing 1.53m, finishing first while Pond accumulated enough points in the heptathlon to qualify for New Englands.
Elsewhere for the women, Alexandra Fitzgerald (Talkeetna, Alaska) finished second in the high jump clearing 1.32m and Ashley Finethy (Alton Bay, N.H.) finished third in the shot put, posting a throw of 8.93m and finished fifth in the discus with a throw of 26.88m.
In the 100m dash, Laperle finished second and qualified for the ECAC Championships in May. This is the second straight year he has qualified for ECAC's. Ryan also finished second in the 200m (23.04).
Saad finished third in the discus and qualified for New Englands with a throw of 39.29m. He also finished fifth in the shot put with a throw of 12.11m.
