Tops in the nation: First place in something!

Every year when we inevitably lead the MAAC in the number of All-Academic team members, I jokingly say that we have to be "first place in something" and it might as well be that (since we never win MAAC titles in track and extremely rarely in cross country, the last being in 2004 with the women). Well. Our men's track team took that to the limit as it was revealed a few days ago that Marist men's track tied for first place in the nation (among D1 teams) for team GPA. Our women, with a higher team GPA but stronger competition, were in the top 20. Check out this release on GoredFoxes.com for details. As always, we're keeping the student in student-athlete first and foremost here in Poughkeepsie. Neat.
