MAAC Championships: Women's results ... two school records!

Where do we start? How about at the end: What a way for the greatest sprinter in school history to go out -- with yet another school record. Danisha Craig ended perhaps the greatest and classiest sprint career in school history by being part of a third-place 4x400 relay team that finished with a school reocrd. Earlier in the day, Danisha hoisted herself on the podium for the first time with a third-place finish in the 400, just an eyelash off her school record in that event. Her teammate and friend Debbie Boerke broke her own school record in the 400 hurdles and was a MAAC Champion (see podium shot) in thrilling fashion. Debbie came back and was on the 4x400 relay as well. Great meet for Debbie! Our MD/D squad earned some hard-earned points in the 800 (Shea Bohan), 1,500 (Emily Burns) and 5,000 (freshmen Hayley Collins and Gianna Tedeschi). Great finish to a great meet. Nicely done, ladies!!!!
