On Friday, the heptathlon will continue with the long jump, javelin and 800. Carvajal is seeded 18th heading into nationals (4,455 points).

Harmon in the hammer throw and Silva in the pole vault will both compete beginning at 4:30 p.m. todayy. Harmon boasts the 16th-best toss this year in Division III (169- 10.50), while Silva stands 10th on the performance list (12-03.75) heading into the championship.

The heptathlon, hammer throw and pole vaults will be finals only.

Both men’s competitors will race in preliminaries, with finals scheduled for Saturday. Hoose, who ranks 20th in Division III with a time of 9:15.03, will race in the 3,000 steeplechase preliminaries at 5 p.m. today. If he qualifies, he will compete in the final on Saturday at 1:20 p.m.

Bowdoin senior Coby Horowitz did have the third-best time in Division III in the 1500 this spring (3:46.70), but has declined the invitation to race at nationals due to the NCAA race conflicting with Bowdoin’s graduation on Saturday.
