BOSTON -- Bates men's track and field senior captain Truman Williams continues to make his mark as a Bobcat, breaking his own school record in the indoor 200 meters and surging up the all-time performance list in the 60-meter dash Sunday at Middlebury's New England Small College Invite, held at the TRACK at New Balance.
