HEATHMAN QUALIFIES FOR ECAC AND DIII NEW ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 500-METER DASH

WESTON, Mass.—In the first meet of the season, mid-distance sprinter Adam Heathman (Newbury, Vt./Oxbow) posted qualifying marks in the 500-meter dash for both the Division III Indoor New England and Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships. Heathman ran a qualifying time of 1:08.23.

The Regis College Indoor Track and Field team competed at the Reggie Lewis Center (Roxbury, Mass.) where Heathman was one of two team members to qualify for at least the Indoor Division III New England Track and Field Championships. Normally a 200 and 400 runner, Heathman was added to the 500-dash event by head coach Christine Kloiber prior to the meet.

His time set a school record for the 500, and just missed running a qualifying time in the 200 in his most recent race at Harvard.

The Harvard Invitational was the team’s last meet of the semester. Both the men and women’s teams return to the track January 15 to face Tufts University.
