WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - The Amherst College outdoor track team posted several impressive individual times at the Williams Relays, held at Williams College on April 13th, in preparation for a string of postseason championship meets.

The Distance Medley Relay team - composed of senior Rebecca Woo (Manchester, NH), junior Laurel Kilgour (Clifton Park, NY), senior Amie Shei (Lexington, MA), and first-year phenom Carter Hamill (Richmond, VA) - shattered the Amherst school record via a first-place, 12:32.9 finish. Hamill struck again later in the day with an 11:09.7 pace through the 3,200 meter run, good for first place. Sophomore Erinn White (Watertown, MA) tacked on a second-place, 11:50.6 finish. Lobsenz posted a third first-place showing for Amherst with an 18:46.4 finish in the 5,000-meter run. First-year Lee-Jay Henry (Springfield, MA) had a good day, grabbing second place in the 100-meter hurdles and third place in the triple jump. Shei added a pair of third-place finishes to her collection in the 200-meter run and the 400-meter run.

The men dominated the 3,200-meter run. First-year Matthew Katz (Tallahassee, FL) paced the group with a first-place, 10:06.4 run. Senior Rusty Ryan (Marblehead, MA) was right on Katz's heels, and first-year Zeke Phillips (Newton, MA) and junior Alex Lenkoski (Wethersfield, CT) followed up for third and fourth places, respectively. Meanwhile, first-year Nathaniel Mahlberg (Madison, WI) took first place in the 400-meter hurdles and second place in the 110-meter hurdles. First-year Jack Morgan (Las Vegas, NV) grabbed first place in the 800 meter run. Finally, first-year Jay Wagstaff (Tewksbury, MA), sophomore Janak Chandrasoma (Pasadena, CA), junior Brian Hart (Rutland, VT) and first-year Matthew Monteith (Madison, CT) combined for a second-place, 44.25 finish in the 4x100 meter relay.
