STATEN ISLAND, NY – The Monmouth University Indoor Track and Field Teams competed at the Seahawk Shootout this weekend at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex and at the Princeton Invitational. Monmouth set three new school records and the women's team took the top spot at the event.

Dylan Capwell broke his own school record in the 600-meter run with a time of 1:18.80 and Chandi Piiru broke the women's school record in the 600-meter run, which was previously held by Tionna Garner '17, with a time of 1:33.51. At Princeton, Domoah Kutu-Akoi broke her own school record and won the 60 meters as she finished in 7.59 seconds. 

NOTES & QUOTES
"We had most of our sprinters and middle distance runners at the Seahawk Shootout on Friday, and most of our field event athletes at Princeton. Our focus was not on the team score in either place, but it is always good to get people in scoring positions and measure our progress before we get to the end of the semester."
