After a train wreck of a first day, the men’s team salvaged the championships with a strong and gutty showing on Day 2. The men scored in every event in which they were entered. In the modern MAAC, points are tough to come by and we picked up some back end points in individual events in unique ways. In the hurdles, Seth Oppong-Dwamena was one of eight entries, so he was guaranteed to score with a clean race, and that’s what he ran. In the 400, Ryan Bahnsen was permitted to race in the 10-man, 2-section final after an Armory official impeded his progress in the Saturday night preliminary, and he made the most of the opportunity by notching the eighth and final scoring spot – again, no small feat in the sprinter-stacked MAAC. The big individual story of the day was pole vaulter Noah Brown, who put together his best day of vaulting of the year on the big stage and got fifth place in a stacked event, just shy of his school record. Our relays did well, with the 4x800 team getting a medal spot (third place) and the 4x400 team getting fifth place and once again just missing our goal of breaking 3:20.
