Track Continues Successful Spring Campaign

Thursday night in Williamsburg, VA a pair of distance runners competed in the 10,000 meter. After 25 laps around the track, freshman Kyle Hinson and sophomore Jack Mastandrea established a school record in the 10k and the top 2 times in the country for the event. 

 
"Kyle and Jack ran together the entire race, working together lap by lap to push themselves to a great performance" mentioned Coach Hayman on their performance. "They started near last of 34 runners and moved up every mile to finish in 12th and 14th against strong competition. I am very proud of their patience and resilience in their debut 10k."
