BOSTON - Freshman Maddie Boucias (Buckland, Mass.) set a new program record in the 1500-meter and Matt Malone (West Roxbury, Mass.) qualified for the New England championships in the 110-meter hurdles to highlight an excellent showing for the Regis (Mass.) track and field teams at the Sean Collier Invitational on Saturday hosted by MIT.

Boucias' time of 5:06.73 put her in the top 15 and broke a 20 year old program record in the process. The women's side also saw a pair of top finishes in Keegan Duguay (Watertown, Mass.) and Kate Cowden (Wilmington, Mass.)
