Colonial Relays: Men's results, Day 1 -- two IC4A qualifiers!

Dietrich Mosel and Mike Kennedy, after their IC4A qualifying races

Tremendous first day for the men:

--Dietrich Mosel (30:43.90) and Mike Kennedy (31:21.15) both earned IC4A qualifying marks in the 10,000-meter run. For Dietrich, it was a 43-second PR; for Kennedy, it was a PR by more than 1 minute.
--Also in the 10km, Matt Baffuto ran a PR by 20 seconds (31:40.60), falling just a little shy of the IC4A standard of 31:30.00. He's knocking on the door, though.
--In the rarely run 3,000-meter men's race, Stefan Morton (8;32.60) and Steven Rizzo (8:36.24) both earned strong PRs.
--Lastly! After an admittedly small sample size (2 events), Marist is in a four-way tie for first place with 10 points. For a point-starved program like ours, that's pretty neat!

It should be noted, too, that our men and women boarded a JTR bus at 5:30 a.m., and proceeded on a 10-hour journey before tonight's events. No excuses, no whining, just results. Now, THAT'S neat.
