Metro Championships: Women's 4x800 gets ECAC qualifying mark

We earned the first ECAC qualifying mark of the 2017 season with the women’s 4x800 relay clocking a near school-record time of 9:20.97, easily making the ECAC cut of 9:25.24. The school record of 9:20.43 from 2012 held up by a few ticks. Our ladies ran remarkably consistent splits, as you can see below. Coach Chuck drove them down in a van so they wouldn’t have to wait around all day, and as he said, it was worth the trip to the meet for this express purpose. Nicely done, ladies!
