WORCESTER, MA — The Assumption College Department of Athletics has announced that Jacqueline Ryan, of Wilmington, has earned a coveted spot on the 2017 Assumption College Women’s Track and Field team. Ryan, Class of 2019, will compete during the Greyhounds’ spring season, which picks up on March 25 at the Bridgewater State University invitational.
“I’m very excited with the progress of our men’s and women’s track programs,” said head coach Stacie Wentz. “We broke a record 25 school records during our indoor season and hope to carry this progress into the outdoor seasons. In addition, the men’s and women’s teams had their best finishes ever at the Northeast-10 Conference Championships and we had several athletes win individual titles. We have a young team, of which more than half are freshmen, so we have a bright future.”
