IC4A Championships: Day 2 results and splits

The men’s track season concluded this afternoon at Princeton with three athletes competing in their respective events. In the 1,500-meter run trials, junior Stefan Morton went out at a blistering pace (2:02.2 through 800 meters!) and faded toward the end. He did not run a personal-best time, but still was able to break 4:00 for the event. The experience of racing in this meet will be helpful for Stefan.

In the 110-meter hurdles, freshman Josh Taylor had a tough race, never seeming to get in sync with things. Hakim Cunningham was able to advance from the preliminaries to the semifinals by a narrow margin – three racers finished in 14.80 but the timers had to go the hundredths and Hakim was able to squeak in there. Hakim improved his time to 14.75 in the semis, but did not advance to the eight-racer final on Sunday. And so ends one of the most remarkable and prolific careers in Marist track history. Hakim graduates having completely rewritten the record board, and clearly establishing himself as the best hurdler in school history.
