PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Both Brown men's and women's indoor track and field programs won the Brown Invitational on Saturday inside the Olney-Margolies Athletic Center (OMAC). The women finished first of 10 (148 points) and the men placed first of eight (149.5).

MEN
Solomon Miller (6.92) and Elias Archie (6.96) hit IC4A qualifying times and finished 1-2 in the 60 meter dash finals.

In the 500 meters, Aaron Caveney (1:05.67) and Jake Haley (1:06.54) finished first and second, respectively, and also hit IC4A qualifying marks. Brown replicated the finish and IC4A marker in the 3000 meters with Jason Markopoulos (8:28.98) and John Farrell (8:31.61).

Marcus Gillespie won the 60m hurdles with an 8.05 finish, his best performance in the 60 hurdles inside the OMAC (also an IC4A qualifier).
