MAAC results from tonight

Highlights from an exciting MAAC meet:

--Congratulations to St. Peter’s for winning the women’s title with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.
--Congratulations to Manhattan for winning its umpteenth men’s title, overcoming a lot of adversity along the way.

Marist highlights:
--Brittany Burns had a beautiful school record in the mile, getting second place. Nicely done, Britt!
--Brooke Kristensen broke a 9-year-old school record in the triple jump. Good stuff there!
--Jackie Gamboli ran a strong collegiate-best in the 800, great to see!
--Will Griffin ran a personal-best, an IC4A qualifier and the second-fastest indoor mile in school history.
--All runners in the 3km ran personal-best times, led by freshman Kenny Walshak.
--Quimes DelaCruz was the top individual male finisher, third in the 5km.

The team standings speak for themselves. I won’t candy-coat it: Finishing last is no fun. In fact, it stinks. It is what it is. No excuses. I’m proud of our team’s effort this indoor season, which is not over yet.

More details, highlights and splits when I can get to it over the weekend.
