Quick MAAC meet report

Friday was a long day logistically for a variety of reasons, and we did not arrive back on campus until 10:30 p.m. That, coupled with the fact that I will have limited to no computer and Internet access today, will mean I won't be able to post complete MAAC results, comments, etc., for a bit.

Here's a quick summary.

The men's team ran tremendously strong and got a dominant 2nd place for the sixth year in a row. Very proud of the effort, top to bottom.

The women's team ran as hard as they could and finished a somewhat disappointing 4th place. I will say this: The teams ahead of us showed up and ran EXTREMELY well, so it may be more of a case of their running great as opposed to our running not-so-great. From my perspective, the effort was there.

Individually, our top finisher was freshman phenom Kiersten Anderson in the women's race (fifth overall). Nicely done!

On the men's side, we had three All-MAAC performances (Matt Flint, Will Griffin, Quimes DelaCruz) while freshman Kenny Walshak missed all-MAAC by two-tenths of a second in another phenomenal performance by him.

Here's a cool stat: Kiersten and Kenny were the top freshman finishers in their respective races!

Again, there is much more and I'll get to it when I can. Overall, a good and fun day.

Thanks to the overwhelming parental and family support. It means a lot.
