FITCHBURG, Mass. (March 11, 2012) – Senior Matt Muolo (Stoneham, Mass./Stoneham) competed the 2012 Men’s Indoor Track & Field Championships hosted by Grinnell College this past weekend.
Muolo became the program’s first men’s All-American since the 1995 season when former standout Kris Theriault earned All-American honors in the javelin. Muolo entered the NCAA Championships ranked 13th in the nation after witnessing a huge week at the MIT Invitational in late January. Muolo set his NCAA qualifying mark in the event with a throw of 18.62m, finishing first overall.
At the 2012 Championships, Muolo collected his first career All-American honor, earning top eight honors in the weight throw. The senior thrower posted a mark of 17.98m (59 feet, 9 inches).
The Fitchburg State men’s and women’s outdoor track and field teams concluded their seasons last weekend as members of the squads competed at the ECAC Championships at the Armory Track and Field Center.
