KINGSTON, R.I.-- Both Stonehill indoor track and field teams resumed their respective schedules on Saturday afternoon with solid performances at the University of Rhode Island Sorlein Invitational, as the Skyhawk women placed fifth and the Stonehill men sixth in the predominantly Division I field.

Senior Dana Burbank (North Andover, Mass.) enjoyed a career day on the men's side for the Skyhawks, as he won the heptathlon in his first try in the event, qualifying for the all-New England Championships in the process. Junior Keith Gill (Brockton, Mass.) set a school record with a second place finish in the 1,000 meters, posting a time of 2:27.0, while sophomore Torrey Price (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.) also set a school record in the 55 meters with a time of 6.48.
