Penn Relays: Thursday night race result

 

I’m not prone to hyperbole, but Mallory Holloway’s 5,000-meter race at Penn Relays tonight was among the greatest individual performances by a Marist distance runner in school history.

 Yes, she now trails only Michelle Gaye (who IS the greatest distance runner in school history) at the distance. More than the time, it’s the WAY she executed the race, by steadily moving up through the field. The numbers below tell the story (in parentheses, see her overall place progression in section 3 of the event).
 
After battling through a lot of traffic in the first 600 meters, she settled into a 79/80-second rhythm per lap for the balance of the race, throwing in a faster last lap for good measure. A perfectly executed race. Neat!

Red Fox River Rumble: What a DAY

 

There is so much -- too much -- to recap and highlight from yet another memorable day at our New Home at North Field. But perhaps this picture tells the story as best as possible. Senior Julia Kropo (left) -- who is finishing her career so strongly -- got to meet Forever Fox Danisha Craig. Julia broke Danisha's school record in the 400-meter dash earlier this season. She also won the 400 and the 200 today at the home meet. It was great for Danisha to make it back to campus, as so many other alums did on this absolutely glorious day for our program. 

Red Fox River Rumble: Day 1 results (throws, at Vassar)

 

What a great first day for our first-ever home track meet. Of course, we weren't technically "home" on Friday, but why quibble with the details? The photo above is of our throws coach, Colton Cook, along with our first-ever individual meet champion, Jenna Borselle in the shot put, just missing her own school record of 11.55 meters from a few weeks ago. Speaking of school records! Kelly Ballen established one in the hammer throw -- her first time competing in the event, and the first-ever Marist woman to throw the hammer in competition. Good stuff. On to Day 2 at the track!

Home meet: A place to sit!

 

In an incredibly exciting development! There are now bleachers trackside at The Track at Gartland Commons -- not a lot, but more than none at all. Highly neat.

In other news! Here is a link to the entries (now) and live results (later). 

Excitement is building (for home meet)

 

We are a few days away from our home meet. This summer weather has been great as we are in the process of setting up the track. Coach Billy Poole-Harris is the nominal Meet Director and he is doing an amazing job with everything. Based on the entries, it looks like the meet (on the track) will run from 12 noon until about 5:15p -- if all goes well. The weather is looking favorable = cloudy and mild. Sunday and Monday, after the meet? Not so much! Cold and rainy weather. Glad we dodged that bullet.

Colonial Relays: Records, records, more records!

The school records kept coming at Colonial Relays. In the “relays” part of the Colonial, they came every race! It was so exciting. One of the records that was broken was one week old. Another was 34 years old. And everything in between. So exciting, so thrilling, so happy for our women and for the amazing coaches (Alisha Samuel and Billy Poole-Harris) who guide them.
 
200 dash: Gabby Bozeth 24.42, broke her two-week old record.
400 dash: Julia Kropo 57.45, broke Danisha Craig’s record from nine years ago.
800 run: Julianna Mirabile 2:10.08, broke one of the longest standing marks on the books, Susan Golden’s 2:11.57 from 26 years ago! Juju crushed it and won the race.
Shot put: Jenna Borselle popped off out in the throws field, breaking Lori Keyes’ mark from 1992 – our first year coaching and the first year of the women’s program!
 
And then the relays. My gosh, the relays.
--The 4x100, bettering last week’s mark
--The sprint medley, breaking a mark from 2002 (24 years ago)
--The distance medley, breaking a 2019 mark
--And of course the 4x400 relay, breaking a 1-year-old mark.
 
Fantastic. Fabulous. Neat!

Colonial Relays: Women's results

 

What a meet. What a meet! There was team scoring -- and boy, did we SCORE = third of 23 teams with 75 points, definitely a program best. Speaking of program best(s)? Eight school records! (more in a separate post). It was really hot both days and it was overall a great meet for the team.

Week in review: Back on track

 After an interminable winter of cold and ice and snow and ice and cold, earlier this week we had a glorious few days of summerlike weather. Aside from the gloriousness of it, from a practical perspective it was SO well timed.
 
Because of the deep snow pack and the relentless cold weather, we had not been able to use our beautiful outdoor track at North Field since Finals Week back in December. We kept checking the track, morosely noting that it would be a while before we could get on it.
 
But then, this miraculous March heat wave melted it all, so much more quickly that we could have anticipated. And? We have been practicing all week on the track! Yay! Fantastic! Neat!
 
At this morning’s women’s distance practice, it was quite brisk – real feel of 25 degrees. But! No snow. No wind. No problem. The ladies got their work done. Again, we’ve been on there all week, multiple practices already. The pole vault and high jump mats are out. One of the long jump/triple jump pits has thawed out. Terry has hauled out hurdles. It’s an active scene. It’s awesome. For me, at least, practicing at that track will never get old and it will always be awesome and it will never be taken for granted.
 
As we look ahead to the beginning of our track season, we note here with excitement that our first-ever home track meet is full steam ahead for Saturday, April 18. We are hoping to get many of you back on campus for that! More details in the coming days and weeks.
 
For now, we’re just glad to be back on track. In any weather. After three months of it not being an option, it’s awesome to be able to shiver out there again.

Week in review: When time stood still

Someone at practice reminded me that it was Friday the 13^th (of March), exactly six years ago today, that the pandemic world started to unravel and our world began to stand still. After a great indoor track season in 2020, the outdoor track season of 2020 (along with all other collegiate sports) came to a screeching halt.

It doesn’t seem like it was six years ago already. By the same token, it also feels like 60 years ago. That pandemic spring – the early days of the Covid crisis – were really, really unusual times. In hindsight, it’s clear that most of the world was simply guessing about how to proceed. Good and bad decisions were made. Many, many lives were lost.

How soon we forget; I remember, vividly, the raw emotions and tears of our athletes at the end of that week when the reality of our sport being taken away smacked them hard in the forehead. We just took it for granted that there would be another practice and another season.

Here in 2026, we’re back to taking that for granted. We have practice today. Our outdoor track season begins a week from today, in Richmond. On and on and on, the practices and seasons just roll on by. Except for that dark period of 2020 and into 2021. This is a good time to take stock and be grateful for what we have, when the memory of what was taken away is so vivid.

Day of Giving: Please consider donating!

 Marist's annual Day of Giving is coming up in three weeks. But you don't have to wait until Wednesday, March 25 to donate to our program! The Day of Giving donation links are live now. Why wait? Donate NOW!

Why donate to our team? Oh gosh. Let me count the WAYS: 

1-Allows us to travel with a large squad to faraway meets -- Richmond, Colonial Relays, Bucknell -- and give us valuable visibility at these regional meets.

2-Allows us to bring elite-level athletes to national-caliber meets. This year, we are bringing a small group of athletes to Raleigh Relays at North Carolina State. You donation ensures that we can do that -- this year and in future years. 

3-Allows us to fully outfit our team with gear and continue to provide equipment (pole vault poles, throwing event implements, etc.) as we rapidly expand to every event in track and field.

4-One long-term goal for our program is to purchase an alter-gravity treadmill -- the brand we are targeting is "Boost" treadmill. This is an EXPENSIVE piece of equipment -- in the tens of thousands of dollars. Some of our rival schools (you know, the one that finishes AHEAD of us every year!) make very good use of these devices, which allows injured athletes to continue to train at a very high level. Your Day of Giving donation -- this year and next year -- can go a long way to our program securing one of these vital pieces of equipment. 

OK. That's my sales pitch for now. Here are the links to donate!
