BOSTON -- Mount Holyoke sophomore Ioanna Tsoni scored in both the 60 hurdles and the triple jump on the second and final day of the New England Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships, leading the Lyons to a 20th-place finish among 28 scoring teams at the meet.
Tsoni (Athens, Greece) placed seventh in the 60 hurdles finals with a time of 9.26 seconds, identical to her time in Friday's preliminaries.
In the triple jump, Tsoni's top effort of 11.00 meters (36'7.75") was good for eighth place out of 28 competitors and one additional team point for the Lyons, for her third All-New England honors of the meet.
