Monmouth Season Opener: School records = wow!


Nice way to start the 2022 outdoor season – with five (5!) school records on a typically challenging early spring day weather-wise at the Monmouth Season Opener. The sprinters dominated the record-setting day, starting with the awesome 4x100-meter relay team of Reed Dexter, Glenmour Leonard-Osbourne, Jared Tomasetti and Jeremy Mooney, who sprinted to victory with an IC4A qualifying mark of 41.92 seconds. This lowered the previous school record of 42.75 seconds, which was set in 2016. Glen then tore through the 100- and 200-meter dash records, winning the 100 into a headwind in 10.60 seconds and winning the 200 into a headwind and then with a tailwind in a remarkable 20.97 seconds – both of which are IC4A qualifiers! In the pole vault, freshman Noah Brown and graduate student Jessica Ippolito picked up where they left off indoors, breaking the school records in the event. Noah got third and cleared 4.30 meters and Jess got ninth, clearing 3.05 meters. Overall, a very exciting start to what we hope will be a very exciting season. Neat!
