Christopher Paxis ended his collegiate track career in fantastic style, going out with a personal-best and school-record time at 1,500 meters on a perfect night at West Point. Pax's 3:48.61 broke Adam Vess' 15-year-old school record by exactly one second. Check out Pax's splits = perfectly executed race. This has been a challenging year for Pax in terms of injury and illness, and it was gratifying to see him put it together one final time in a Marist uniform. We will miss him!
Other highlights: Freshman Matthew Ferreri PRed by four seconds at 1,500 meters. Class of 2019 alum Drew Burns ran a stellar 800, especially considering he got to the track with 15 minutes to spare for his race, due to a back-up at the security line entering the USMA.
This was definitely worth the short trip down the Hudson River. Neat.
