Devils excel in Boston
Head track and field coach Tom Wilson took a contingent of his top athletes to Boston, Mass., for one of the elite meets in the East on Saturday, and the group produced some outstanding results.
At the top of the list was Nick Abdo who set a new school mark in the 400m dash. Abdo clocked in at 49.07 seconds.
He also entered the 200m where he put up a season best of 22.31 seconds, second only to his school mark of 22.20 set last season. Nick Marsowicz timed in at 22.64 seconds, which was his PR as well as fifth on the Devils' all-time charts.
Abdo was not finished. He teamed with Marsowicz, Toby Onuoha, and Josh Walters in the 4x400 relay. The quartet finished in 3:20.59, which was second all time in Blue Devil history.
Like Abdo, Onuoha and Marsowicz also ran the 400m. Onuoha put up his season best of 50.46 seconds, while Marsowicz had a PR with 50.78.
Walters also cracked the school charts. His 800m time of 1:55.08 ranked ninth in Blue Devil history.
For the weekend, the Devils cracked the Top 10 in school history five times.
"It was a great weekend all around," said Wilson. "It was the biggest meet in the country and we held our own. Any time we crack our own top ten, that's pretty significant given the storied history of our program."
