Sjöberg Shatters Mile Record as Terriers Take on the Battle of Beantown

BOSTON — Junior Vera Sjöberg shattered the school record in the mile with a performance of 4:33.92, and graduate student Foster Malleck set a new school record in the 3K with a time of 7:50.96, as the Boston University track & field squad achieved six top 10 times at the Battle in Beantown on Saturday at the Track & Tennis Center.

The event commenced with the team’s senior day celebration, honoring the 23 seniors poised to graduate from the program this year, followed by the Jarred Rome Shot Put Invitational Ceremony, which pays tribute to the legacy of the former BU throws coach Jarred Rome. Following the ceremony, a group of throwers performed the shot put on the infield of the TTC in honor of Rome.
