MAAC Championships, 5.2/5.3.09

Another great MAAC meet, and the team should be proud of its efforts. It was a TRUE TEAM performance, and we scored some amazing, unexpected points all around.

Congrats to MAAC Champion Max Carow in the pole vault, and to distance runner Tim Keegan for doing the brutal 10k/5k double and producing 14 valuable points for the team.

Weather conditions on Sunday were terrible: Heavy rain. Wind. Chilly.
