BOSTON, Mass. — The Marist women's track & field team delivered a strong showing Friday at the John Thomas Terrier Classic, highlighted by a massive breakthrough performance from
Mallory Holloway in the 5,000-meter run at Boston University.
Holloway turned in one of the top performances of the day for the Red Foxes, clocking a personal-best 16:58.01 in the 5,000 meters. The time marked a dramatic improvement of more than a minute from her previous best of 18:11, as she maintained consistent kilometer splits throughout the race to finish inside the top 25 of a deep collegiate field.
Marist saw continued success across the sprints, middle distance, and relays. In the 200-meter dash, Makenzy Nielsen and Alicia Ramos both recorded personal-best performances, finishing in 26.07 and 26.13, respectively. Julie Cristinzio also added a personal best in the event with a time of 27.11.
The Red Foxes picked up heat victories in the 400-meter dash, with Stephania Granados tying her personal best at 59.39 to win her section, while Breelyn McNamara claimed her heat in 1:00.17.
In the 800 meters, Rebecca Maclaren posted a personal-best time of 2:21.15, while Grace Fletcher led the group with a time of 2:18.60. Fletcher later returned to anchor the 1,600-meter relay, helping Marist finish 17th overall in 3:59.80.
Additional strong performances came in the mile, hurdles, and field events. Nicole Wang recorded a personal best in the open 60-meter hurdles, and Gracie Taylor represented Marist in the triple jump.
