The weather was a bit more of a factor on the second night
of the meet, as the air temperature stood at about 93 degrees when the gun when
off for Emily Burns in the 3,000-meter steeplechase race at 8:45 p.m. Emily
started out at the back of the pack and moved her way through, passing several
runners despite very choppy form – especially on the water jump. While this was
nowhere near her best time, her race effort was above average and she
represented the school well in this meet. And, she made history by becoming the
first Marist woman to qualify for and compete in this event at this
championship. Well done, kid.
