Sports: Track & Field
A ‘Weight’-y Title
In something of a track-and-field doubleheader, weight throwers Andrew Wunder
’05 and Anne Baker ’05 both represented Rochester in the NCAA Division
III indoor track and field national championships last winter.
Wunder earned All-American honors, finishing sixth overall with a distance
of 17.66 meters (57 ft., 11.25 in.).
Baker, who failed to finish in the top eight at the national meet, set a University
record at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference meet with a throw of
16.20 meters (53 ft., 1.75 in.). That performance tied a conference record and
qualified her for the NCAAs.
Also competing in the national championships were Matt Tierney ’06, who
finished fourth in his 400-meter heat, and the 4-by-400-meter relay team of
Kirk Bristol ’06, Brian MacIlvain ’07, Chris Clark ’06, and
Tierney, who finished fourth in a preliminary heat.
