MAAC Championships: Men's results

Here are today's results. As I stated previously, I am very proud of the effort out of the men this year in what was without a doubt the most competitive MAAC meet since we joined the league in 1997. We improved two places from last year's sixth-place finish. Most importantly, we ran with heart, determination and toughness. Also! Check out the improvements in Holmdel Park times from the September meet there. For a course that purportedly runs slow, our top-5/5-man average of 26:19.06 is something at which to marvel, as was our 1-through-5 spread of 39.36 seconds.
