Rain or shine, the Gordon College Track & Field Invite went on today at the Brigham Athletic Complex where Nichols, Roger Williams, Salve Regina, and Suffolk were all in attendance.

- The Scots 4x400Â relay team of Tibbles, Silvia, Alex Cravens, and Backert proved to be too much for the competition as the quad finished nearly four seconds ahead of the second place squad earning a time of 3:31.52.
