NEWPORT NEWS, VA - Four field eventers from defending CAA Champion William and Mary men's track and field competed Sunday afternoon at Christopher Newport's Winter Frolic. Several area teams, including CNU, Virginia Commonwealth, Winthrop, Emory and Charleston Southern contested the meet that did not feature team scoring.

Senior Chris Parsons (Dunkirk, MD) led the Tribe's effort with his runner-up showing in the shot, throwing for 49'11.5". Junior Nick Hecker-Thompson (Seattle, WA) took fourth in the event with a distance of 48'4". In the pole vault, senior Aaron Spicer (Woodbridge, VA) and freshman Justin Zamorksi (Virginia Beach, VA) tied for fourth as each cleared a solid 13'0", just shy of the IC4A qualifying height.

W&M is back in action next Friday and Saturday, February 13-14, at the Virginia Tech Open in Blacksburg, VA.
