CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – First year Scott Sloan (Barrington, R.I.) placed first and shattered the school record in the javelin throw and senior Kelvin Peterson (Eliot, Maine) broke the program record with a first-place effort in the 200 meters to lead the Wheaton College (Mass.) men's track & field team at the Sean Collier Invitational hosted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the Morrison Track at Steinbrenner Stadium in Cambridge, Mass.

Peterson's time currently places him 18th in NCAA Division III.
