Bergen Community College’s Track and Field team had a very successful season in 2022. The completed 5 meets included a trip to the National Tournament in Troy, NY. The Bulldogs finished in 14th place in the Men’s Team Rankings, which landed them in 3rd place in the region with 18 points. Bergen also landed two All-Americans on the Men’s side. Tamir Williams in the Long Jump and Kaden Steven with 2 All-Americans in both the Men’s Triple Jump and 400M Hurdles.
Bergen had several national qualifiers this year: Caitlyn Calupad (Women’s Pole Vault), Zoe Florio (Women’s Shot Put), Anthony Bertollo (Men’s 800m Run), Kamal Khan (Men’s 800m Run), Joseph Dutan (Men’s 5000M Run), Freddy Zuniga (Men’s 5000M Run), Tamir Williams (Men’s Long Jump), and Kaden Stevens (Men’s Triple Jump & Men’s 400M Hurdles).
