With his IC4A qualifying mark in the mile at Friday night’s Armory Collegiate Challenge, sophomore Arquimedes DelaCruz becomes the first Marist distance runner in school history to qualify in the three longest IC4A events – mile, 3,000 and 5,000 – in the same season. That’s a pretty impressive feat.
The only other athlete to qualify in three different individual events in the same season was Adam Vess in 2009 – 1,000, mile, 3,000. Vess’ mile and 3,000 bests stand as our school records.
In all, the program achieved the most IC4A qualifying marks in school history during the 2011 indoor track season, which concludes next weekend at the IC4A meet in Boston. Here’s a list of qualifiers.
