            Middletown, Conn.- Sophomore Christina Kane won the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:45.89, as the Trinity College Bantams men’s and women’s indoor track and field teams competed in the Wesleyan University Invitational this afternoon.  Trinity men’s senior co-captains Ryan Bak (Suffield, Conn.) and Jim Emord (Bridgewater, Mass.) traveled to Boston University for the Terrier Indoor Track and Field Classic to compete in the 5,000 meters.

Bak set a new College record in the event, finishing in 14:18.99 to break his own record by almost one second.  Bak’s time qualifies him automatically for the NCAA Division III National Championships.  Emord ran a  14:55.77 to set a new personal record in the 5,000.

Senior Josh Griffis (Templeton, Mass.) highlighted the men’s meet at Wesleyan with a fifth place finish in the shot put, while senior tri-captain Leeann Rheaume (Pittsfield, Mass.) and junior Elizabeth Brown (Belmont, Mass.) finished fourth in the 5,000-meter run and the 1,000-meter run, respectively, for the Bantam women.  Sophomore Kathleen Forbes finished fourth in the triple jump and senior tri-captain Kate Klein (Huningtonton, Vt.) was fifth in the 800 meters for Trinity.
