Bates College

Bates men's indoor track and field will be sending a relay to the NCAA Championships thanks to a huge performance from the Distance Medley Relay team Saturday at the Tufts "Last Chance" Meet. 

Sophomore Ross Tejeda (Milton, Mass.), junior Truman Williams (Montclair, N.J.), junior Calvin Capelle (Laguna Beach, Calif.), and senior captain Ned Farrington (Cohasset, Mass.) raced to the finish in 9:52.26, the second-fastest mark in Bates men's track and field history. Tejeda ran the 1,200-meter leg, Williams ran the 400 meters, Capelle ran the 800 meters, and Farrington anchored the race with the mile. 

This is the first time Bates has sent a DMR team to the NCAA Championships since 2017.
