4x100 Relay

This time, they won in a time of 41.37 seconds! Before the 2023 season, the School Record in the event had stood at 42.43 seconds since it was set in 1970, and this squad has brought this record down by more than a full second in just a few months, an incredible accomplishment.

Long Jump

For the fifth time this season, Adrian Friedman won the Long Jump with a jump of 6.94m (22' 9.25"), and he jumped that mark on his third and sixth attempts.

He passed the baton to Kolya Markov-Riss for the third leg, and Kolya further extended that lead and passed the baton to Cody Pierce for the anchor leg! Cody ran a strong and speedy leg and fought for every step to make it a challenge for the competing teams to beat the Mammoths. Cody brought the Mammoths across the finish line in second place in a time of 3:16.78, which is Fifth All-Time at Amherst in the event! This time is also a season best for the Mammoths in the event!
