Our 4x800 meter relay team placed 16 of 21 teams on Saturday in a time of 7:43.62. This time is the fourth fastest in school history. Through three legs, we were on school record pace. But entering this relay, we knew we would miss captain Will Griffin, who brought home the school record last week at MAACs. Here are the splits ...
Chris Vanzetta: 1:54.5 (56 opening 400)
David Marthy: 1:52.8 (53 opening 400)
Matt Panebianco: 1:55.5 (56 opening 400)
Mark Vuono: 2:00.6 (56 opening 400)
Vanzetta, Marthy and Panebianco have been on all four of the fastest times, achieved in the past year. We will miss Vanzetta and Panebianco. Their toughness and leadership has set the standard by which all future relays must be measured. Once again, Marthy was our workhorse and he returns to provide the centerpiece of the future.
As stated previously, of the 9 athletes who competed at Princeton this weekend, 7 are graduating. We are proud of their achievements and we obviously will miss them greatly. It was our largest contingent of athletes at the outdoor IC/EC meet, and they should be proud at the standards they have set.
