Page and Bynum Earn MASCAC Indoor Track & Field Weekly Accolades

WORCESTER, Mass. – Worcester State University’s Scott Page (Baldwinville, Mass.) and Phill Bynum (Peabody, Mass.) both earned Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) indoor track & field weekly awards, following impressive performances at the Tufts Final Qualifying Meet on Saturday (Mar. 4).

Page broke a school record with a  new personal record (PR) clearing a height of 4.36m, coming in 8^th place in an elite field of competitors at the meet.

"He took advantage of a top level field of competitors that mostly included athletes trying to qualify for nationals or as with Scott, trying to reach a new PR for the season," commented head coach Al Halper.  

"Scott accomplished this feat and earned himself a new school record in the last opportunity of the indoor season.  Finishing with a milestone will help to spur him forward to new heights in the outdoor season just a couple of weeks away."

Rookie of the week, Bynum, came in at 7:28.13 in the 60M Dash, placing 13^th in the preliminaries at the same meet.

"He took advantage of this final opportunity to race indoors to give him more confidence as we head to outdoor season,"   mentioned Halper.  "He had a nice start after working on that this week and now just needs to work on the final part of the race. As he gets stronger going into outdoor season, we will work with him on his stamina and quickness.  He wants to be at his best and show his true ability. He has the talent to help the team do well outdoors."
