COACH'S QUOTE
"These championships are a great opportunity to have our men and women compete against some of the best on the east coast," said head coach Matt Belfield. "We've had a weekend off since America East, so we should be well rested and ready to take on members of the ACC, Big East, Ivy League, AAC, and other great conferences. Team points will be tough to come by, but we'll get some; and I think a couple of school records are in jeopardy as well."
 
LAST YEAR'S ECAC/IC4A'S
A pair of school records were set in last year's ECAC & ICAAAA Championships.

The captain also ran on the 4x400 meter relay team with Dan DeBlieck, Taylor Kracher, and Alex Parasky that posted a school record pace of 3:15.23. Caroline O'Shea closed out the indoor season with personal-best 1000 meter run time of 2:51.40 for fifth place.
