The Panther indoor track teams were in action at M.I.T. over the weekend, competing with over 10 teams at the M.I.T. Invitational.

Sophomore Jennifer Brenes (Lawrence, Mass.) and first-year racer Anjuli Demers (Dracut, Mass.) both picked up a pair of wins on the day for the Middlebury women. Brenes won the 55-meter hurdles in 8.7 seconds, while winning the long jump with a leap of 16'9.25". Demers was a winner in both the 200 meters (26.81) and 400 meters (1:00.31.). Senior Beth Butler (Bronxville, N.Y.) was also a victor for the Panthers, capturing the 800 in 2:20.94.

The women's 4x400 relay team of Demers, Butler, sophomore Simone Weisman (Newton, Mass.) and senior Kara Plunkett (Topsfield, Mass.) won the event with a time of 4:13.69

Two Middlebury men picked up wins on the day, with senior Conor O'Neill (Friendswood, Texas) winning the 800 (2:02.06) and sophomore Max Mackinnon (Norwich, Vt.) capturing the 1000 (2:39.06).

Two other men finished in second place in their respective events, qualifying for New England's. First-year racer Bruce Hallett (S. Londonderry, N.H.) accomplished the feat in the 3000 (8:56.61), while senior Will McDonough (Lancaster, N.H.) did so in the 5000 (15:44.65), a new school record.
