Our two men’s athletes at Raleigh represented the program
well on Friday. Graduate student Mark Valentino (
the inaugural Greg Salamone Memorial Scholarship recipient) opened
the season in grand fashion, with a personal-best time and IC4A qualifying mark
in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. He placed third in his section and ninth
overall out of 25 runners. We are proud of Mark, who battled injuries during
indoor track and now is juggling graduate school studies as well as a middle
school teaching position. Nicely done! In the 110 hurdles, Hakim Cunningham had
a solid start to the season, placing second in his section and missing the IC4A
qualifying mark by 0.07 seconds. On Saturday at Raleigh, Hakim and Debbie
Boerke will be racing in the 400-meter hurdles to conclude our stay at the
prestigious, early-season meet.
