Kotowski Ranks 10th Nationally; 4 Schools Honored for Week 6 #AETF Awards

Boston, MA - All 9 #AETF teams kept up their busy seasons with 2 schools hosting meets in UMass Lowell hosting the George Davis Invitational and UAlbany hosting their annual Bobbi Palma Spring Classic. The George Davis Invitational saw success from UMass Lowell’s own James Kotoswki. The javelin thrower had an exceptional toss, putting him at No. 10 in the nation in the event. Bryant broke 3 school records at the George Davis Invitational, breaking both men's and women’s pole vault records and the women’s javelin record. At the Bobbi Palma Spring Classic, meet records were shattered with Dominique Clarke breaking 2 meet records.
