Bois Breaks Hurdles Mark on Day One of AARTFC Championships

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Junior Jason Bois broke the school record in the 110-meter hurdles yet again to lead the Union College men’s outdoor track & field team on day one of the 2025 All-Atlantic Region Track & Field Conference Outdoor Championships, held on Wednesday afternoon at Williams College’s Weston Athletic Complex.
 
All four Union entries exceeded their seeding on the first day of competition, highlighted by a pair of personal bests and another program record falling in the hurdles.
 
Bois continued his mastery of the program’s 110-meter hurdles record on Friday, booking his spot in tomorrow’s final with a dash of 11.81 seconds in the second of four preliminary heats, taking fourth in easily the most competitive heat and seventh overall heading into tomorrow. The junior entered the event seeded 15th.
 
Sophomore Nate Okwaning also bested his seeding by double digits in the 100-meter dash, finishing in a personal-best 10.77 seconds to come less than a tenth of a second away from qualifying for the finals. Entering the day as the 22nd seed, the sophomore finished 10th out of 32 runners.
 
Junior Nick Entner also posted a top-20 finish for Union in the javelin throw, placing 16th with a throw of 51.23 meters on his third and final attempt. He was joined in the event by classmate Mason Lang, who placed 28th overall with a top mark of 45.66 meters.
 
The Garnet Chargers will be back in action at the AARTFC Championships tomorrow, with three Union entries looking to find their way to the podium.
