BOSTON — Two Terriers broke school records for the second time this season as the Boston University men's track & field team ended day one of the David Hemery Valentine Invitational on Friday.

Sophomore Thomas Cowan finished third in the elite 800m run, clocking a 1:46.83 time. That bested his own previous school record and tied a national indoor record for his native country of New Zealand. The mark is also 15th in the NCAA this season after tonight's results.

Senior Freddy Collins also broke a record in the 3000m, finishing eighth overall in the 3000m but winning his heat with a 7:49.90 time. It's his second school record this season after shattering the indoor 5000m record two weeks ago. The mark bested the previous school record of 7:50.96, set by Foster Malleck in 2025.

Top 10 Terriers

Sophomore Dan Hruska clocked a 7:54.84 time in the 3000m, taking 22nd overall and moving into fourth all-time at BU.
Sophomore Luke Riordan solidified his place as number seven all-time in the weight throw with a 19.11m toss.

Top Performers

Freshman Nicholas Cappucio clocked a personal-best 6.92 in the 60m and finished sixth in the finals.
Junior Shamiso Sikaneta ran to a 1:50.82 mark, finishing ninth in the open 800m.
Senior Micah Perry crossed the 60m hurdles line in 8.18 to finish fourth and he won the long jump with a 7.08m jump.
