Home meet: Men's results

 It’s rare that one of the “meet highlights” is the date of the meet. In this case, for me, it was my 60^th birthday and it was a great day to reach that milestone, with my favorite weather (cloudy, humid, warm) and my favorite team (Marist cross country) and the best tailgate/parent support in the MAAC. And! My older children surprised me by flying in for the weekend. Highly, highly NEAT.
 
This was a solid start for the men, with four first-years among our top-10 and sophomore Jackson Borge racing for the first time in nearly a year and being our lead runner. Iona, a preseason 15^th-ranked team in NCAA Division 1, came to play today, dominating the competition and destroying course-record times in the process. Beyond that? Not gonna analyze the meet much further as we have many weeks/months to go.
