BOSTON, Mass. – The Dartmouth men's track and field team had 11 athletes earn top five finishes, led by freshman Barret Folk (Memphis, Tenn.) who took first in the pole vault this afternoon.

Folk was the lone event winner for the Big Green after clearing the bar at 4.71 meters (15-05.50). Dartmouth also had two others earn top five finishes in the same event as senior Ken DiCairano (New Rochelle, N.Y.) and sophomore Ian McAfee (Nashua, N.H.) earned fourth and fifth place, respectively.

In other field events, senior captain Ted Lesher (Upper Saddle River, N.J.) took third in the triple jump at 6.79 meters (22-03.50), while senior captain Michael Poppler (Metairie, La.) wasn't far behind in fifth with a mark of 6.71 meters (22-00.25). Junior David Irving (Manchester, N.H.) continues to impress this indoor season in the weight throw. He finished second in the event today with a toss of 17.8 meters (58-04.75).

Senior captain Muhammed Abdul-Shakoor (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and freshman Connor Reilly (New York, N.Y.) kept their rivalry going in the 55 meter dash. Abdul-Shakoor got the best of Reilly this time with a finish of 6.5 seconds, while Reilly was two-tenths behind at 6.52. Abdul-Shakoor also competed in the 200 meters and took sixth with a time of 21.86 seconds.

Freshman Anthony Romaniw (Hamilton, Ont.) ran in the 800 meters and finished in the third spot with a time of 1:51.02. Junior Ben Bramhall (Plymouth, Mass.) came through in the 800 meters to place third as well at 2:28.27, while sophomore John Turro (Katonah, N.Y.) came in fifth at 2:28.37.

Next up for the Big Green is the Dartmouth Indoor Classic next Saturday at Leverone Field House.
