Track Notes

-Some super times in the snows of White Plains gave us an encouraging look at the fast-approaching outdoor season. Certainly the most encouraging glimpse came from Junior Justin Bienkowski, whose ten-second PR in the 800 is unprecedented in the last five years. Eric Alemany lost 6 800m seconds, while Sophomore Aaron Cotter pulled a double PR in the 200.
