Cambridge, MA --- Senior Everett Mosher (Chester, VT) broke the WPI school record in the 1500 meters Thursday evening as the Engineers wrapped up competition at the MIT Final Qualifier with a series of strong performances on both the men's and women's sides.
 
Mosher delivered one of the top performances in program history, placing fifth in the 1500-meter final with a time of 3:47.63 to eclipse Ben Steeves' previous school record of 3:50.02 by more than two seconds. The performance also strengthened Mosher's case for a berth in the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships. Should he earn selection to nationals, Mosher would join Steeves as the only runners in program history to qualify for the NCAA Championships during cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field in the same academic year.
 
Senior Gavin Fleck (Bend, OR) cleared 4.88 meters (16-0) to finish fourth in the pole vault as he awaits potential qualification to the NCAA meet.

Gerlach leaves the program ranked among WPI's all-time top-10 performers across multiple events during his standout career with the Engineers.
