Results

BOSTON – James Madison track & field medaled in four events on the final day of the ECAC Indoor Championships to finish fourth overall at the championship meet on Sunday at the Boston University Track & Tennis Center.

Brown won the team title with 136.5 points, followed by Boston (127.5), and Massachusetts (67). The Dukes tallied 72 points on 16 scoring performances, including five podium finishes across the two-day meet.

Kam'Dyn Thomas (8.65) edged out Brown's Simone Dunbar (8.66) for JMU's lone gold medal – the same time she recorded at last year's meet when she finished second. Mykenzie Britton placed second in the 500-meter race in 1:14.44, while Nina Dominique picked up silver in the 200-meter dash in 24.14. Lastly, the 4x400-meter relay crew of Dominique, Fitzgerald, Sky Bleu Tyson, and Britton captured bronze in 3:47.25 – the seventh-fastest time team in program history.

Quoting Head Coach Delethea Quarles
"The ECAC Championships went well for us. Since this meet was very early this year, our focus was to continue our training cycle and prepare for the Sun Belt Conference Championships that will be held two weeks from now in Birmingham. We were happy with several performances as many performed their personal or season best, while others continue to change the JMU all-time record book. We were especially excited for Kam'Dyn Thomas with an ECAC Champion crown in the 60 hurdles. Runner-up celebrations were Mykenzie Britton in the 500 meters and Nina Dominique in the 200 meters. The 4x400-meter relay team ended the meet with a good run for third. The team's performances certainly prove great momentum in our preparation for the Sun Belt conference meet."
