Metro Season Opener: Women's results and splits

As much fun as XC season was for us in 2017, it sure feels great to be back in the track mode for 2017-2018. The mood and vibe was great for our rust-busting season opener and the results were promising, for sure: 

--Graduate student Janelle Solviletti returned from her long Marist racing absence with a solid performance in the mile, leading much of the race and running a near PR time. Janelle has been working very hard this summer and fall and the results will continue to show. Also in the mile, racewalker Katie Miale broke 6:00 for the first time -- by a lot -- and proved to us that she's a pretty good runner as well.

--Junior sprinter Candhace Forrest qualified for the finals in the 60 dash by tying her PR time in the event, and then she followed it up with a strong 200 dash race.

--In the 400 dash, senior Danisha Craig (59.02) and junior Debbie Boerke (59.40) put down strong first-meet times. 

Again, it was great to be back on track -- literally and figuratively.
