MEDFORD, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University sophomore Grace Inacio (Taunton, Mass.) had a successful day at the Tufts University Spring Invitational.

Inacio won one event and placed second in another for the Bears' women's outdoors track & field team at the Ellis Oval/Zimman Field/Dussault Track.

The sprinter was first in the 200-meter race with a time of 24.85 seconds, just shy of the BSU record, and placed second in the 100 with a PR of 12.06 seconds.

Inacio won the 200 over Endicott College freshman Tiana Brown (25.31 seconds). She was second in the 100 by a fraction of a second to Wheaton College senior Michaina Loriston (12.03).
