Gioielli’s first collegiate attempt at the 800m run yielded the second-best time in the Northeast Conference thus far this season. Producing a prime performance under the bright lights of the Boston University Terrier Classic, Gioielli clocked in at 1:52.61. The time placed him sixth out of 143 finishers at BU. Only Monmouth veteran Ford Palmer owns a faster time in the NEC. A welcome addition to Central Connecticut’s already-strong distance department, Gioielli became the first Blue Devil this season to automatically qualify for the IC4A Championships in the 800m run.
