IC4A, Day 1: Hakim and the 4x800 relay

Hakim Cunningham ended his 60-meter hurdle career with a Marist Track first: He became the first hurdler to advance to the semifinal round, with a time that would have been a school record prior to his breakthrough performance at MAACs that earned him the trip to Boston this weekend. His semifinal round race wasn't as fast, and so his career ends there. We are proud of what he has accomplished, and we look forward to bigger and better outdoors.

Our 4x800 relay team ran well, too, with a respectable 7:54.44. This relay marks the end of the indoor career for two of our favorite relay runners of all time -- Mark Vuono and Nestor Taylor. They are pictured above with Nate Lungarini and Josh Siegel after the 4x800 relay on Saturday.
