Women blow away DMR record

Oh, how I wish I could have been in two places at once.

In one of the remarkable performances in Marist Track history, our women’s distance medley relay lopped nearly 11 seconds off the school record and placed ninth overall at the ECAC meet, across town at the Reggie Lewis Center -- around the same time the men were running at BU.

Sunday's time of 11:54.75 eclipsed the previous mark, set way back in 2000, of 12:05.53.

It was one of those rare, magical days when every relay member exceeded expectations. It came together for a truly amazing performance. And the ladies were just a few ticks off a scoring spot.

Here are the numbers …

DMR
9. Marist (Jackie Gamboli, Hayley Harnett, Briana Crowe, Brittany Burns) 11:54.75 *school record, highest relay placement in school history.
Jackie Gamboli, 1200 split: 3:39.0
Hayley Harnett, 400 split: 58.9
Briana Crowe, 800 split: 2:18.6
Brittany Burns, 1600 split: 4:58.0
