All-American Day for CT athletes at NBNI meet

The final day of the New Balance Nationals produced four All Americans.

Weaver junior Marc Doyley, Brien McMahon senior Eric van der Els, Coginchaug's Jessica Drop and Wilbur Cross senior Danae Rivers also finished among the top six in their respective events on Sunday.

Rivers had the top finish among the Connecticut foursome by finishing fourth in the 800-meter run with an indoor best of 2 minutes, 7.54 seconds.

Just two days after winning the 5K title, van der Els earned All American status for the second time this weekend with a two-second PR in the mile. He was time in 4:10.58.

Drop also achieved a PR on Sunday by placing fifth in the mile at 4:46.57.

Doyley, the New England champion in the 200m, was sixth in the event at NBN with an all-time best of 21.79.
