Scanlon 3rd in Division Hurdles

Yesterday afternoon, Colin Scanlon took 3rd place in the 400m hurdles at the Division III Championships in a time of 60.20, despite being the youngest runner in the field. Scanlon earned a spot in the finals after taking 4th in prelims on Tuesday with a time of 1:01.27.

Scanlon’s performance was the highest divisional finish for a Bear since Jyles Etienne won the high jump a year ago, and was the highest finish for a freshman since Taylor Colucci took 2nd in the 200m dash in 2009 with a mark of 23.23.
