Carrai to Join Track & Field

Smithfield, RI- A 400 meter runner 4x4 who finished fourth last week at in invitational at Bryant University will soon be joining the Black Bear Track and Field team.

Matthew Carrai, a junior at Bryant University is majoring in business administration and minoring in communications. Carrai was born and raised in Hopkinton, MA, the starting point of the Boston Marathon. Carrai has been running for six years and finished with a time of 49.6 seconds in his 400 meter last week. Carrai plans to transfer to Maine next fall for multiple reasons.

“I wasn’t having a good college experience at Bryant and I’ve heard great things about Maine and their track and field program. I’m looking forward to the relaxed atmosphere and fun loving people.”

Track isn’t the only reason Carrai plans to become a Black Bear; his longtime girlfriend is a student here and he wants to relocate closer to her.

When asked about his passion for track and field, Carrai said, “The feeling before and after a race is one that I can’t get anywhere else.”
