IC4A/ECAC Championships: Friday night results

Last week's MAAC Championships represents the end of the line for the majority of the team. But the true, final finish line for our collegiate season is almost always at the IC4A/ECAC Championships at Princeton. Oh sure, we are fortunate to have qualifiers for the USATF Junior Championships in June, and that is always a fun trip. But really, the IC4A/ECAC meet is it as far as the college season goes.

And so it was fitting that on Friday night under the lights at Princeton University, we bid our final track farewell to five seniors on our team. This is the most number of individual distance qualifiers we have had for an outdoor IC4A/ECAC meet, and it is appropriate that this group collectively saved their best for last. Congrats on Kathryn Sheehan for finishing with a personal-best time. But really, congrats to all of them for the many achievements, contributions and lasting memories they have provided – on and off the track – for the past four to five years. To say they will be missed is an immense understatement. They are family, and they are Foxes Forever.

We are not quite done down here. We have our men’s 4x800 relay competing on Saturday afternoon. We’ll post tonight’s splits and more thoughts upon our return home.
