Wrapping up indoors, looking ahead to outdoors


A few final thoughts on our longest season as we head into our shortest season:

--Our school record board will have a few updates, all of which were accomplished in the last week of the season (photos above of Drew Burns getting congratulations and Gianna Mastromatteo in Saturday's 1km trials). My view on this: The school records are now very strong, and breaking the existing records will become more and more difficult moving forward. This is a great thing for our program, and it makes our athletes’ task of “getting on the board” that much more difficult. Being difficult is a good thing!
--Ending the season on a strong note at ECAC/IC4As is always a great way to propel us into the outdoor track season, and we look forward that in the coming weeks.
--We are already planning for outdoor track, which again jumps on us quickly. The “reset” period between season is measured in days and not weeks. We have to get back on the horse, and quickly. Several of our athletes, whose indoor track season ended at MAACs or prior, have been on that for a few weeks already.
--The outdoor track season begins on Saturday, March 30 at the Monmouth University Season Opener, an event that was canceled due to an early spring snowstorm. Here’s hoping this year’s meet does not face the same fate.
