WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University track & field / cross country program had one of the most successful days in program history as the Hoyas split sites between the Boston University Scarlet and White Invitational, the Villanova Invitational at Ocean Breeze in Staten Island and the USA Track & Field (USATF) Junior Cross Country Championships in Bend, Oregon.

“I’m really pleased with where our fitness is at this time of year,” Director of Track & Field / Cross Country Michael Smith said. “What we really want to make sure we do is get as many athletes to the NCAA meet as we can and we are poised to do that.

“A day like today is great for our team and I know we’re excited. Now I want to make sure that we get back to work with our mind on the championship meets up ahead.”

Four Under Four: Boston University Scarlet and White Invitational (Boston, Mass.)
It seems the magic number for the Georgetown men’s track & field team this weekend was four, or more specifically, 3:59. For the second-consecutive year, the men’s team put four student-athletes on the track who went on to run a sub-four mile with All-American Ahmed Bile (Annandale, Va./Annandale) leading the way with a time of 3:57.84, the fourth sub-four mile of his career, to win the event. All-American Cole Williams (San Francisco, Calif./Occidental College) ran his first sub four, finishing second with a 3:57.88, followed by All-AmericanAmos Bartelsmeyer (St. Louis, Mo./Saint Louis Country Day) in third with a personal record (PR) 3:58.22 and Michael Lederhouse (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West) in fourth with a PR of his own, 3:58.42.
