The junior was named the Centennial Conference Runner of the Week three times (Jan. 19, Feb. 2, Feb. 16) ... The Fords finished second at the conference championship for the third year in a row ... Ainsley was named the conference runner of the week (Dec. 8) after winning the 60m hurdles event (8.50) at the Villanova Pyrah Invitational, setting a meet record ... Roza was the third Ford to be given the weekly conference accolade (Jan. 26) with his fourth place finish at the Princeton Invitational ... Marquardt was named the USTFCCCA Division III National Athlete of the Week (Feb. 3) after setting a conference record (8:13.36) at the Tufts Stampede... He also set a personal best in the mile (4:07.90) in the BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational (Feb. 14) ... Ainsley set a school and personal record (8.33) in the 60m hurdles final at the Centennial Conference Championships (Mar. 1) ...

Looking ahead: The Fords will look to be near the top of the conference again in 2015-16. Marquardt, Ainsley, Yellets and Woods are among the returnees for the men's indoor track team that brings back a strong core of distance, middle distance and sprinters.
