Eman Nda twice set the Bentley record in the 100-m this spring. He crossed the finish line in 10.87 seconds during the Southern New Hampshire Spring Invitational (March 26), breaking the record of 10.90 seconds set by Sam Ekejuiba in 2002.
Three weeks later in the Bryan Clay Invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific (April 17-18), Nda ran the 100-m in 10.64 seconds. He holds the conference's fastest time this season at 10.53 seconds, but the wind factor (3.6) during the SNHU Ed Daniels Classic (April 11) prevents that time from being a Bentley record.
Hayden MacArthur and
Ryan Orr are two of the top three runners in the NE10 for the 800-m  this season. MacArthur's best time of 1:51.91 ranks second, and Orr's time of 1:52.81 ranks third. Both times were achieved in the Bryan Clay Invitational (April 17-18).
During last year's NE10 Championship, Orr took silver in the 800-m, and MacArthur claimed bronze.
MacArthur currently ranks second in the 1,500-m this season, posting a time of 3:55.58 in the Bryan Clay Invitational (April 17-18).
Rocco Bueti is among the conference's top 10 runners in that event. His time of 4:02.12 was achieved during the Skyhawk Invitational (April 25).
Orr is among the top 10 runners in the 400-m this season. His time of 49.00 seconds during the Skyhawk Invitational ranks seventh in the NE10.
Three Falcons are among the top five NE10 runners in the 10K this spring.
Max Lampe (32:37.58) ranks third,
Mason Behl (32:46.07) ranks fourth, and
Jeff Warnock (32:54.93), ranks fifth. All three achieved their top times during the Silfen Invitational (April 10).
Steven D'Alessandro enters the conference championship with the season's sixth-best time in the 5K, posting a time of 15:29.87 during the Jim Sheehan Memorial (April 4).
Alex Gwozdz's time of 56.86 seconds in the 400-m hurdles ranks seventh in the NE10, and
Patrick Gray ranks seventh in the 3,000 steeplechase with a time of 10:29.09.
