BOSTON, Mass. -- A school record, a Northeast-10 Conference championship and an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark. Bentley University's Amy Varsell (Burlington, Conn./ Lewis S. Mills HS) accomplished all those in a span of 2:15.35 Thursday night at the Reggie Lewis Center.

That was the time it took Varsell to win the 800 meters at the NE-10 Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships. She finished nearly two full seconds in front of runner-up Karie Judge of UMass-Lowell, with her time breaking the school record that has been Suzy Walsh's since 1994 by 0.39 seconds.

Varsell's time was also a meet record, by 2.29 seconds, and it provisionally qualified her for the NCAA Division II Championships.

Varsell's classmate, Caitlin Fahey (Bridgewater/Coyle-Cassidy HS) finished second in the 1,000 meters for the second straight year, posting a time of 3:02.49. The 1,000 was won by Stonehill's Jill Alves in 3:00.28.

Later in the meet, Fahey and Varsell were part of Bentley's 4x800 meter relay team that was third in 9:50.79. That quartet also included a pair of juniors from opposite coasts, Maddy McDonnell (San Francisco, Calif./St. Ignasius Prep) and Brittany Roderman (Boca Raton, Fla./Spanish River HS).

Also scoring for the Falcons were junior Evelyn Marrero (Amsterdam, N.Y./Amsterdam HS) and freshman Ashley Nichols (Kenmore, Wash./Inglemoor HS), both in the 3,000. Marrero set a PR of 10:33.77 while finishing third, and Nichols was fifth in 10:41.65.

Freshman Brittany Pandolph (Tewksbury/Tewksbury HS) just missed scoring in the shot with a seventh-place finish, but her throw of 37 feet, 5 inches established a new personal best.

In the team standings, Bentley was sixth of ten teams with 32 points. Southern Connecticut State, with 155 points, took the championship by 42 over UMass-Lowell, which finished one point in front of third-place New Haven.
