BOSTON — Junior
Vera Sjöberg broke the school record in the mile with a time of 4:33.92 and graduate student Foster Malleck broke the 3K school record with a 7:50.96 time as the Boston University track & field team notched six top 10 times at the Battle in Beantown Saturday at the Track & Tennis Center.

After the ceremony, a flight of throwers threw the shot put on the infield of the TTC in honor of Rome.
