He also was 15th in the 400 hurdles, less than two-tenths of a second off his own school record in that event. Valentino was eighth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, in a personal-best and IC4A mark of 9:16.10.
Other personal-best performers included: Brian Henderson and Josh Siegel (800 meters); Stefan Morton and Drew Burns (1,500 meters); Riley Hughes and Mike Kennedy (10,000 meters) and Josh Hindle (400 meters).
