BOSTON & MEDFORD, MA – In their most competitive meet of the indoor season, the Blue Streaks collected national ranked performances.

In what was an off weekend for most of the athletes, a small group of the team traveled to Boston for the BU David Hemery Valentine Invite, while also attending the Tufts Cupid Challenge at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.

The men went up against the very best in the sport of track & field across all divisions in one of the deepest fields to ever compete at Boston University this year.

Most of the performances from the weekend have placed themselves higher in the national ranks. 

Basheer improved upon his 800 meter personal best from the indoor season, breaking the indoor school record with a time of 1:50.72, placing seventh overall. He is now third in Division III with that time.

The 4x400 meter relay of Tyler Gast, Tony Tirado, Dustin Horner, and Basheer Alramahi made their way into the top five in Division III, placing fifth overall with a time of 3:12.91. 

Sam Su, the sophomore out of Woodridge, Ohio, has gotten better every week and has improved upon his mile personal best with a time of 4:08.55; putting him at 22nd in Division III. 

The Blue Streaks are steadily climbing as they will now look to continue their momentum with the conference championships being two weeks away. 

Next up for the men's track & field program will be another split squad weekend as they will travel to the Silverston Invitational hosted by the University of Michigan and Case Western Reserve University for the Ed Finnigan Greater Cleveland Colleges Invite on Friday, February 20th.

Also taking place Saturday to Sunday, February 21-22 will be the NCAC Combined Events hosted by the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio to start conference championship week.
