NEW YORK - Freshman David Raucci (Clermont, NY) and junior Mike
Bamberger (East Northport, NY) qualified for the IC4A Championships, and senior captain Justin Harris (Wappingers Falls, NY) was runner-up in the 3,000-meter run to pace the Marist College men's track team at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships, which concluded late Friday night at the Armory Track and Field Center. The Red Foxes finished fourth overall with 31 points.
Raucci placed third in the 5,000-meter run in 14:42.92, which earned
him his second IC4A berth in two weeks. Last week in Boston, Raucci qualified for the IC4As in the 3,000-meter run. Bamberger placed fifth in the 800 and earned a spot at the IC4As with a 1:54.61. Harris placed second in the 3,000-meter run in a personal-best time of 8:35.81.

fifth in the long jump with a personal-best leap of 6.76 meters, which is just one centimeter off the school record; senior captain Rob DeAngelo (Brooklyn, NY) was fifth in the 55-meter hurdles in 8.08 seconds. DeAngelo was running his first hurdle race of the season after recovering from an ankle injury; freshman Kris Geist (East Berne, NY) was sixth in the mile run in a personal-best time of 4:27.58.
