Peddie indoor track and field competed in the 2025-2026 MAPL Championships at The Lawrenceville School. Both the boys team and girls teams placed third out of seven teams. The boys scored 59 points and the girls scored 99 points. The boys 4×400-meter relay team consisting of Luca Romanelli, Luke Chon, Dasyer Bullock and Elie Meyer won the event and broke a school record with a 3:28.01, according to head coach Tim Brennan.

More Falcons who won events:

Boys 1,600-meter run: Elie Meyer (4.34.28)

Boys long jump: Dasyer Bullock (21’10”)

Girls 55-meter hurdles: Tessa Hughes (8.50)

Girls high jump: Tessa Hughes (5’2”)

It was the first time Dasyer Bullock ’26 competed in the long jump in his high school career. His jump qualified for Easterns.

“I’ve been pondering about it my entire senior year, but I didn’t really choose to do it until maybe last week,” Bullock said. “I only had about two-to-three practices with it. I did it out of curiosity, the last time I took part in it was when I was about 11 years old. I was wondering where it could take me, and I did it with the 200-meter dash as well, I never ran that in high school. It’s an exciting thing to tackle today.”

“It was surreal,” Bullock said on his experience in the long jump. “I honestly came into this thinking I would maybe go 19, but when I heard it was 21’10”, I was ecstatic, especially in such a big competition. I didn’t really feel the pressure that I usually would, but I feel like I had the same experience as it would be if I knew I was coming into this as one of the top competitors.”
