BOSTON, Mass.-- Senior Erik
van Ingen was named the America East Men's Most Outstanding
Track Performer and the men's squad captured runner-up honors,
highlighting Binghamton's performance at the America East Indoor
Track & Field Championships. The two-day event, which was

on Saturday afternoon.
With 157 points, the Bearcat men were second to Albany, who scored
184 points en route to winning their sixth straight conference
indoor title. The Binghamton coaching staff, led by head coach
Mike Thompson, was named the top staff of the year. Joining Thompson

Gabe Fletcher. The Bearcat women's team, meanwhile, was eighth
in the meet.
After winning the 5,000 on Friday, van Ingen clocked a winning
time of 2:24.34 in the 1,000. He now has four career America
East individual titles and is the third Bearcat in a row to be
named the men's track performer of the indoor meet.

Arnett, who was the Most Outstanding Men's Track Performer
in the previous two America East Indoor meets, anchored the first-place
4x400 relay team which inculded fellow seniors Christian
Smith and Andy
Haupt as well as sophomore Casey
Gilbert. The Bearcat quartet recorded a meet-record time
of 3:11.58, breaking Albany's 2009 mark of 3:11.77.
Second-place finishes were recorded by senior Casey
Quaglia in the mile (4:06.43) and sophomore Jeff
