MAAC Championships: Men's results, 5th place!

There were several neat highlights today, culminated with scintillating relays -- second place for 4x800 (see podium shot) and fifth place in a rousing season best for 4x400. Toss in Sean Patterson's superb hurdle race, Drew Burns' great 800 final (and relay leg), Dietrich Mosel breaking up the vaunted Iona pack in the 5km and even a passable 4x100 relay team ... and it all added up to the seemingly improbable, almost random 5th-place finish. That's right. Our favorite Foxes scored more points than three other teams in the MAAC. For those keeping score at home and elsewhere, that's pretty cool.
