BOSTON – Stefone Moore-Green led the way for the Bucknell men's track and field team on Sunday by earning All-East in two events as Bucknell wrapped up its indoor season on Sunday afternoon at the Boston University Track and Tennis Center.

Bucknell (12) finished in a tie for 16^th overall with Iona. Connecticut won the meet (127.5) followed by William & Mary (85), Albany (62), Northeastern (55), and Hampton (43) to round out the top five.

"Overall, it was a nice weekend," said Head Coach Kevin Donner. "Once again, Moore-Green looked great. He went to the well again with four great races and running the third-best time in school history. Our DMR team got involved in a lot of traffic and some bumping, and was able to manage seventh place. Marino battled sickness all week, but was still able to score some points for the team in the pole vault. We will now prepare for outdoor season."

Results

Moore-Green started his day with a personal-best time in the 400 (47.77), which ranks as the third-fastest time in school history behind Robert Arent (47.36, 2012) and Kerry Boyle (47.56, 2008). Moore-Green moved up two spots on the list from his previous personal-best in his collegiate debut season on the track.

Just over 30 minutes later in the 200, Moore-Green also scored by finishing eighth (21.70) to cap off an impressive indoor season for the senior. The time is just shy of his personal-best (21.62) that ranks fourth in the Bucknell record books. Overall, Moore-Green has entered the Bucknell top ten in three events this season with the aforementioned 200, 400, and the 60 (6.98).

Bucknell scored in the distance medley relay (7^th, 10:01.22) as the unit of Owen Chase, Steve Rizio, Robert Dessoye, and Brendan O'Toole combined to improve by over six seconds from yesterday's qualifying time.

Nicholas Marino earned All-East honors in the pole vault for the third straight IC4A Championships indoors and outdoors in finishing fifth overall (15-11), edging out Tyler Hrbek of Connecticut for a top-five spot after clearing 15-9 in fewer attempts. David Kelly, who placed ninth at the Patriot League Indoor Championshps, also competed.

C.J. Falcioni, Anthony Zamarra, Zach Ruiz, and Tim Guider rounded out Bucknell's competitors on Sunday in the shot put, with both Zamarra and Falcioni finishing 15^th overall (50-8.75). The mark is a personal-best for Zamarra, a freshman from Manalapan, N.J.

The Bison will have a week off before competing at the USF Invitational on Saturday, March 21-Sunday, March 22 to kick off the outdoor season.
