It was a big meet for the Red Foxes from start to finish, but the headline story came in the 3K, where all four Marist runners produced significant personal bests in a race defined by grit, smart pacing, and fearless closing speed.

Kevin Cannon led the charge with a runner-up finish in 8:31.47, slicing 17 seconds off his previous best. Cannon executed a controlled race plan, clicking off kilometer splits of 2:49.15 and 2:52.48 before closing in 2:49.84, capped by a blazing 32.67 final lap.

Right behind him, Justin Schwartz also delivered a breakthrough effort. Schwartz placed fourth in 8:34.16, a 28-second personal best. He matched the early pace with splits of 2:49.47 and 2:52.89 and finished strong over the final kilometer (2:51.78), closing in 32.83.

The improvements continued deeper in the field. Ryan Wisker ran 8:57.38 to shave seven seconds off his personal best, highlighted by a strong negative trend over his final two kilometers (2:59.00, 2:56.76). Chase Kober followed with an 11-second personal best of 8:58.59, opening aggressively in 2:51.41 and battling through the final stages of the race.

On the sprint side, William Carroll put together one of the best meets of his season. He placed third in the 60-meter dash with a personal-best time of 7.34 seconds, showcasing his explosiveness out of the blocks. Later, he returned to post a season-best 24.28 in the 200 meters.

In the middle distances, Mikiyas Ashenafi won his section of the 800 meters in 2:02.51, while David Laubenheimer recorded a season-best 2:04.14. Jordan Dolansky added a solid 57.24 effort in the 400 meters.
