PHILADELPHIA, PA. - The Marist men's and women's track & field teams turned in an impressive weekend on one of the sport's biggest stages, competing at the historic Franklin Field during the 2026 Penn Relays from April 23–25.
Competing against elite collegiate fields, the Red Foxes delivered multiple school records, top-20 finishes, and several all-time program marks across three days of competition.
On Thursday, Mallory Holloway set the tone early in the women's 5,000 meters. The senior posted a time of 16:37.72, shaving 20 seconds off her previous best while recording the second-fastest time in program history.
Friday proved to be a record-setting day for Marist, particularly in the relays. The women's 4x400-meter relay team of Julia Kropo, Breelyn McNamara, Stephania Granados, and Gabrielle Bozeth broke the school record with a time of 3:50.08, finishing 15th overall. Not to be outdone, the men's sprint medley relay squad of Amari Mathis, Manasi Simpkins, Emmanuel Harris, and Joaquin Bell-Andrade also etched their names into the record book with a school-record time of 3:28.13.
