HANOVER, NH - The battle for the 2010 Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Championships will take place this weekend at Leverone Field House and both the men's and women's track and field teams look to be in the mix.

Freshman Connor Reilly (Niskayuna, N.Y.) and senior captain Muhammed Abdul-Shakoor (Stone Mountain, Ga.) have paced the Big Green all year long and will look to continue their success this weekend. Reilly holds the top time in the 60m dash at 6.87 seconds, which is also a Dartmouth record, while Abdul-Shakoor isn't far behind at 6.9 seconds. Abdul-Shakoor, however, has owned the 200m dash and has the top time with a time of 21.86 seconds with Reilly at No. 2 at 22.12.

Freshman Anthony Romaniw (Hamilton, Ont.) has already set an NCAA Provisional qualifying mark in the 800 meters at 1:51.02 and that time is the third best this year in the Ivy League. Sophomore Ethan Shaw (Falmouth, Maine) is second in the league in the 5000 meters at 14:25.36.

In the men's field events, senior Ted Lesher (Upper Saddle River, N.J.) comes into his final Heps with the fifth-best mark in the triple jump at 48-01.75, while junior David Irving (Manchester, N.H.) is in the second spot in the weight throw with a toss of 61-00.75.

On the women's side in the field and multi-events, sophomore Priscilla Trojano (W. Bridgewater, Mass.) is in the top spot for the pentathlon with 3,331 points, while freshman Emmaline Berg (Holliston, Mass.) is set to compete in the shot put with the fourth best throw of the year at 45-06.25. Sophomore Malina Simmers (Anchorage, Alaska) is No. 6 in the triple jump at 38-06.25 and junior Jessica Robson (Newport Beach, Calif.) is seventh in the high jump as she cleared the bar at 5-05.00.

In track events, sophomore Christina Supino (Windham, N.H.) is set to compete in the 1,000 meters and has the sixth best time at 2:55.70, while junior Andrea Imhof (San Francisco, Calif.) is seventh at 2:55.71. Sophomore Elizabeth Short (North Reading, Mass.) and senior Monica Hernandez (Dallas, Texas) are fifth and six, respectively, in the 5000 meters and the Big Green's distance medley relay will enter Heps with the second best time at 11:51.94.
