Tigers Earn Honorable Mention Recognition At 2007 Nationals In Inaugural Season
Roxbury Community College capped the 2007 season by finishing 16th overall and receiving honorable mention honors in several events at the 2007 NJCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Fields Nationals held May 11th & 12th in Maryland.
In Individual races:
- Sprinter Antonio Francis placed third in the 400-meter dash and sixth in the 200-meter dash, finishing with times of 49.81 and 22.40 respectively, earning honorable mention honors along the way.
- The men’s 4x400-meter relay team raced to a 7th place finish with a time of 3:27:73, earning honorable mention honors for team members Antonio Francis, Yambo Barrett, Seth Campbell, and Carlos Silva.
- The men’s 4x100-meter relay team ran to a 7th place finish with a time of 44.07, earning honorable mention honors for team members Yambo Barrett, Carlos Silva, Antonio Francis, and Michael Ihenetu.
- Tenisha Wheeler – RCC’s only female team member -- finished a respectable 9th in the 800-meter run and 11th in the 400-meter dash.
Coach Westley Ellis is eagerly anticipating the start of the 2007 indoor season in December, as he expects that the team’s entire compliment of runners will return, with exception of Antonio Francis, and that it will be augmented with standout recruits Odair Centeio from Brockton, MA; Lawrence Wells from Orlando, FL; and Alabama State College Transfer Taleiah Perkins.
