Making his mark for the defending champions, Taddeo registered a pair of top times in the conference at the FastTrack Season Opener last week. The junior sprinter placed second at the meet in the 200m dash with a 21.72 second sprint. Taddeo also added a 6.83 60m finish, which ranked fifth among competitors at the meet. His 200m time is tied for 31st nationally, while his 60m mark is tied for 43rd among all DI sprinters. This marks Taddeo's first NEC Men's Track Athlete of the Week selection. He was previously named NEC Men's Rookie of the Week twice in 2022-23 (Jan. 17, Jan. 30).
