Penn Relays: Men's 10,000-meter run

Spencer Johnson notched a painful PR and Dietrich Mosel had a tough return to racing, as the two men carried on a long tradition of Marist runners in the 10,000-meter run late at night at Penn Relays. Spencer was on pace for a monster PR before a stomach cramp slowed him down considerably during the second half of the race. He was able to battle through it and earn a two-second PR and another IC4A qualifier, but he was upset at not being able to run a sub-31:00 and a much bigger PR. Dietrich has battled a foot injury since mid-March and this was his first race back. I believe he is in better shape than this, but the fast early pace was too much for him to handle. After what has been a great sophomore year for Dietrich, this was a bummer of a race. We’re hoping for a strong, bounce-back effort at the MAAC meet next week.
