Sprinting into Marist history

At Saturday's Valentine meet, Marist Alumni Racing Team history was made as Mike Cocca (Class of 2009) was the first sprinter to don the MART colors -- in the 200-meter dash.

"Coke" did great! He sprinted to 23.82 seconds, not much slower than his collegiate days! This is amazing considering he has basically been working out on a treadmill and doing little else. Wow. Without the benefit of a team or training facilities, he's still on top of his game.

Hopefully, he will continue to wear the MART uniform in future meets this winter and spring.

Look for more MART action at the NYU Fastrack meet in a few weeks at the Armory ...
