He also clocked a 22.15 in the 200m, marking the top time in the conference so far this season and the ninth-fastest time nationally. He finished second overall out of 49, and was the top D3 runner in that event as well.
Magoulas collects her first NJAC Indoor Field Athlete of the Week honor after a pair of strong performances at the Wagner College Invitational to open the new calendar year. She tossed a 12.27 meters in the weight throw, where she was the top Division III competitor in the event that included athletes from all three NCAA divisions. That mark is also the fifth-farthest toss so far this season in the NJAC. She also posted a shot put throw of 8.68 meters, marking the second-farthest shot put toss by a Ram this season.
