IC4A Championships: Men's results and splits, Day 2

The wonderful career of senior Stefan Morton came to a close with a career-best time in the 1,500-meter run at IC4As. Stefan placed 20^th out of 40 entrants and improved his personal-best in the event by about 1.25 seconds. As you can see from his splits, he ran an even and tough race. We are not ready to see his career end, but alas all good things must come to an end. This weekend’s meet, in which we had the largest contingent in school history, is as much about the future as it is the present and the past. The majority of our athletes – including all runners in both 4x800 relays – return for at least one more season, in some cases more than that. And although our men’s relay had a mishap in which third leg Zachary Ropes dropped the baton, it was a good run for the year for our middle-distance crew – of which Stefan was a bit part. We will miss him greatly, but he left an indelible mark on the team.
