AMHERST MA- The Ephmen headed to Amherst, Massachusetts today to compete for the Little Three title.
The meet serves as both a long standing rivalry and a final tune up before the bigger championship
meets in the weeks to come. The Ephs started the running events off with a solid performance in the
4 by 100 meter relay, which consisted of Sy Schotz, Deividas Seferis, Pierre-Alexandre Meloty-Kapella,
and Andrew Arons. The group ran a fast strong time of 42.16, which is .16 off of a provisional qualifier
for the national meet. The group ran well despite some handoff snafus from other teams. “There was so
much action going on during my handoff”, says Seferis. “Amherst fell and rolled on his face, and Wesleyan
threw his baton, which went flying by my head.” Needless to say, Amherst and Wesleyan were disqualified,
and Williams took the race.
