Results and splits from Saturday's meet at Icahn Stadium, Randalls Island, NYC ...

200-meter dash: Mike Cocca 23.20. Comment: A fine farewell performance for a fine sprinter and excellent team leader. Thanks for everything!

400-meter dash
: Colin Frederickson 50.74. Comment: A solid ending to an amazing comeback track season(s).

800-meter run
: Brian McCormick 1:59.17. Comment: Nicely done, proving something we already knew, and that is the sub-2:00 for 800 meters is no fluke. That is what you are. We will miss you, and we wish you well at your new track (and college) home at Ithaca College.

1,500-meter run: Tom Lipari 3:59.54. Personal-best time. Splits: 63.6, 2:08.6 (65.0), 3:13.1 (64.5), 3:59.54 (final 400m, 61.54). Comment: An excellent end to a great freshman year. Fell short of the goal of 3:57, but still a strong PR. Nice job.

3,000-meter steeplechase
: Nick Webster, 9:30.23. Fifth place. Splits: 70.6, 2:23.8 (73.2), 3:39.0 (75.2), 4:55.4 (76.4), 6:13.1 (77.7), 7:32.8 (79.7), 8:50.5 (77.7), 9:30.23. Comments: You gave it your all, but you definitely looked tired. Strong sophomore year, and we're hoping for big things in your junior seasons.
