BOSTON, MA – Members of Siena's Indoor Track & Field teams concluded the program's weekend competition at the David Hemery Valentine Invitational in Boston, MA Saturday. The team competed at the prestigious Boston University Track & Tennis Center for the third time this season.
The team's day began with three runners competing in the men's 5000-meter run.

The only women's event of the day came in the form of the distance medley relay, which saw juniors Morgan Serkes, Holly Bednarek and Allison Hill team up with senior Carolyn Pellegrini to record a time of 12:16.87.
Later in the afternoon, four men's runners took part in the 1000-meter race. Freshman Matthew LaFramboise placed second in his heat with a time of 2:28.99, which was good enough to qualify him for the ICFA meet later this season.
