The Marist Athletics Department continues with its summer series "Ten Question Timeout." The next student-athlete to be interviewed is Arquimedes DelaCruz of the men's cross country/track & field teams. DelaCruz will compete at the USATF Junior Championships in Des Moines, Iowa this week in two events - the 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 10,000-meter run. He is the first student-athlete to qualify for two events at Junior Nationals in a single season.
