Accusplit, the leader in the professional stopwatch and timing industry since 1972, will recognize the nation's best collegiate relay teams and their coaches at the 2017 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Convention at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.

Stonehill was the only Northeast-10 school recognized in Division II, while Minnesota State University and Shorter University led the way with two teams honored in the women's and men's division, respectively.

For Stonehill, Borofski, McAdams, Buonfiglio, and Lastra helped open up the outdoor season at the 52nd Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Virginia with a sixth-place finish among 26 other relay teams.
