The women's track and field team came away with a third-place showing at Saturday's NCAA Women's Div. III New England Regional Championships, thanks to first-year standout Nicole Anderson. She bested a field of 26 competitors in the 5,000 meter-run. After the 5,000, in which Anderson led classmate Elise Tropiano to a 1-3 Amherst finish, the Jeffs were in first place. Though the Jeffs eventually dropped to third, Anderson's run was key in leading the small Jeff contingent over many of their much larger foes. In the upcoming Open New England championsips, Anderson is poised to lead the Lord Jeffs to another top-five performance.
