| Hall (Merrimack athletics) |
It was a great week on the track for the sophomore from Waterbury, and he earned the Northeast-10 Conference’s top honor for it.
Hall, a former runner at Holy Cross, claimed Northeast-10 Conference Track Athlete of the Week for his effort at the Bowdoin Invite last Saturday. Hall, who won Rookie of the Week last year, finished first in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.93 seconds. That time is the best in the Northeast-10 this season, and it was only 0.02 short of Hall’s own school record.
Hall qualified for the Northeast-10 and New England championship meets with his run at Bowdoin. He was one of three Warrior track and field athletes to be honored by the conference.
Hall was also on the football team at Merrimack. He started his high school career at Wilby before transferring to Holy Cross. Hall earned All-NVL, All-City and All-State honors as a senior, and he was even ranked nationally in the 55-meter dash that year.
Hall is majoring in Criminology.

Jermaine Coggins, Castleton indoor track and field
He’s just a freshman, but Coggins is already putting his name in the program record book.
Coggins went 11.66 meters (@38.25 feet) in the triple jump to take fifth place at last Saturday’s Smith Pioneer Invitational at Smith College. That established a new program record.
It wasn’t Coggins’ only record effort of the day.
In the long jump, Coggins finished eighth with an effort of 5.67 meters (@18.60 feet). That established another new program record.
First indoor season, two records for Coggins. Not bad at all for the former Crosby standout.
