Tigers Compete in Quad Meet at Penn Saturday Afternoon

The 400 meters was the highlight for Princeton on the track as the Tigers had the top four finishers in the individual 400 and also won the 4X400 relay later in the meet. Rich Stewart's time of 48.24 seconds led the top four in the individual event, with Shafiq Kashmiri and Matt Brock right behind in 48.71 and 48.97 respectively.

Princeton's "A" mile relay group finished in 3:15.81 to edge Rutgers in that race. Villanova and Penn also competed in Saturday's quad meet.

The Tigers also had the top two finishers in both the hammer throw and shot put. Alex Pessala's throw of 181 feet easily won the hammer, while Matt McNamara's toss of 171 feet, seven inches was second. In the shot, Tim Lanni's mark of 52 feet, 5 1/4 inches was the winner, with teammate Eric Plummer finishing just behind with a toss of 49 feet, 10 inches.

Justin Frick cleared 2.10 meters (6-10 3/4) in the high jump, good for qualification to the NCAA regionals. Scott Henkleman's mark of 23 feet, 2 3/4 inches won the long jump competition on Saturday.
