ROCK ISLAND, Ill./CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — First year Josy Brown Wright (Sharon, Mass.) broke the school record for the 200 meters at the Augustana Midwest Twilight Qualifier and senior Nick Lacroix (Bedford, N.H.) broke the 24-year old school standard for the 3000-meter steeplechase at the MIT Final Qualifier today to lead the Wheaton College (Mass.) men's track & field team.

Brown Wright placed second for the Lyons in Rock Island, Ill. at the Austin E. Knowlton Outdoor Athletic Complex on the campus of Augustana College with a time of 21.35 to supplant the former mark of 21.38 set by Kelvin Peterson '25 last season. The time currently ranks as the 46th-fastest in the nation this season. 

Lacroix soundly eclipsed the former 3000-meter steeplechase mark of 9:38.80 set by Brannin Buehmer in 2002 with a time of 9:35.48 to finish ninth in Cambridge, Mass. at the Sherie and Don Morrison Track on the campus of host Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The race was the final event of his career. 

It was a good day for Wheaton's relay squads as well. Sophomores Harrison Page (South Berwick, Maine), Aidan Greenleaf (Topsham, Maine), Gavin Landry (Sebago, Maine) and Brown Wright combined to clock in at 3:18.65 for the fourth-fastest time in school history in the 4X400-meter relay to place 11th in Rock Island. First year Tyler Lamonde (Swansea, Mass.), Brown Wright, Greenleaf and sophomore Gael Vera (Westminster, Mass.) turned in a time of 41.59 to place 10th in the 4X100-meter relay with a time that ranks as the eighth-fastest in school annals.
