BOSTON, Mass. (5/13/23) – Select members of the Franklin Pierce University outdoor track and field program spent the past few days at the 2023 NEICAAA Outdoor Championships, hosted by Northeastern University at the Solomon Track & Field Facility. The meet featured over 35 teams from across all three NCAA divisions.

The Raven men's squad scored as a group and finished tied for 34^th with four points scored, drawing even with Middlebury College.

The highlight of the event were two Pierce All-New England recipients, which began with lone individual recipient Brogan Bonsaint (Somersworth, N.H.) following his 7^th place finish in the Men's Javelin (59.13m). Joining Bonsaint was Pierce's 4x800-Meter relay team of Ryan Walker (Seabrook, N.H.), Evan McNeice (Wethersfield, Conn.), Harrison Pelosi (Gloucester, Mass.) and Ryan Outerbridge (Paget, Bermuda), who also finished 7^th respectively with a time of 7:50.72.
