Updated VCP top individuals all-time

Below is a more streamlined take at the best-ever Marist men at Van Cortlandt Park.

For more than 20 years, Jerry Scholder's 25:25 mark from the 1976 IC4A meet was the Holy Grail of Marist Running ... a seemingly untouchable record.

Quimes DelaCruz's outstanding run on Saturday now makes him the sixth runner to eclipse that former long-time record.

This streamlined list includes only the single best time by each individual to crack the 26:30 barrier in their career.
