BOSTON — Led by three all-time top 10 program finishes, the Boston University track & field program wrapped up the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener at the Track & Tennis Center on Saturday.

Top 10 Terriers

• Sophomore Shamiso Sikaneta kicked off his indoor season with a 1000-meter time of 2:21.71, giving him the second-fastest time in program history and the U20 Canadian national record, beating out a 52-year old record (2:22.54) held by Randy Makalosky. It's the 11th-fastest 1000m indoor time in Canadian national history, regardless of age.
• In the 5000m, junior Vera Sjöberg finished in 15:45.75, moving her into second place on the all-time indoor performance list at BU. This mark is 26 seconds better than her previous personal best.
• In his collegiate debut in the weight throw, freshman Mykhaylo Hychka tossed his implement 18.19 meters, winning the event with the 10th-best program mark. He is the first Terrier to crack the top 10 since 2014.

Top Performers

• The mid-distance crew dominated in the 600m, with freshman Thomas Cowan winning the men's event with a 1:18.64 time. On the women's side, freshman Leonni Griffin took home the women's crown with a 1:35.03 time.
• Sophomore Chinonye Moneme finished sixth in the 60m dash with a 7.88 time, just  .11 seconds away from an all-time top 10 list mark at BU.
• The Terriers went 1-2-3 in the weight throw after Hychka's win, with senior Gabe Hickman (16.22m) and freshman Luke Riordan (16.10m) finishing second and third, respectively.
