Dixon, the reigning NEC 60-meter and 200-meter champion, showed this past weekend that he will be a serious contender for the 400-meter crown at the quickly-approaching NEC Championships. Dixon won the 400m at the Yale Intercollegiate Invitational by clocking in at 48.26, a time that beats the IC4A qualifying standard by nearly a full second. The Sacred Heart senior’s success extended beyond the track and into the long jump pit where he landed an IC4A-qualifying mark of 7.35m, moving up to second of the NEC’s Performance List.
