1/14 - Millrose Trials - Armory
SHOCKER! After barely qualifying for the seeded section of the 4x800 trials; the Varsity 4x800 pulls off a shocker with a top 6 finish while punching their ticket to the 108th Millrose Games. Rob Ruspantini led off the relay in the thick of the race with a 2:03.6 carry. Nick Velez posted a PR of 1:57.3 while moving the team closer to the leaders but more importantly opening up a gap on the 7th & 8th te Guidicipietro ran a PR of 2:04.9 to keep the team in the top 6 on the 3rd leg. Mateo Velez, who just over a year ago went for open heart surgery ran a PR of 2:07.8 to hold off a fast charging Molloy runner. The team's 8:13.83 FAT represents a seasonal best by over 8 seconds.
The 4x200 relay raced well and smashed the school record by 1 full second. Unfortunately, the relay would just miss out on a Top 6 qualifying position. It took a blazing fast 1:32.84 FAT to qualify for the Millrose Games.
