Bruce Zapasnik (UMD '05) was a four-year competitor for the UMass Dartmouth indoor and outdoor track and field programs between 2001 and 2005. During that period, Zapasnik was the Corsairs' top thrower, reaching the pinnacle of his sport in 2005 when he earned NCAA Division III All-America status with a school record throw. With a javelin in his hand, Zapasnik established himself as one of the best in New England and Division III. He was a four-time Little East Conference champion and captured the New England Alliance title in three of those years. He qualified for the NCAA Division III national championship meet twice, placing second as a senior after taking 14th overall as a junior in 2004. Zapasnik was a two-time Division III New England champion, while placing second at the 2005 Open New Englands against the top intercollegiate competition in the region. He served as the Corsairs' track and field team captain during his final season. Through the 2013-14 season, Zapasnik's nine-year hold on the javelin record continues at 205-1.
