BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – Bridgewater State University senior Jayci Andrews (Plymouth, Mass.) captured the New England title and broke her own school record in the 60-meter hurdles on Saturday at the Division III New England Women's Indoor Track & Field Championships hosted by Bowdoin College.

Andrews posted a preliminary time of 8.78 seconds and then recorded a finals time of 8.74 seconds to win the 60-meter hurdles title. She eclipsed her previous school mark of 8.80 seconds set earlier this season at the NEICAAA Championships.
