Both runners collectively gathered 14 points between both of them. Sean Dunn ’16 finished the 3000-meter race with a 10 second gap between him and the 2nd place finisher receiving 10 points for the Bantam’s team. Following this the bantams were able to receive a 1stplace finish in the 4×800 meter relay event to close the meet.

Sean Dunn ’16 again exceled in long distance receiving 1st place in the 5,000 meter run with a 30 second gap.

For the 400 meter dash,  Ben Feloa ’19 clinched a 2nd place finish, earning the Bantams 8 points. Kyle Larsson ’18 again did well in the 800-meter dash, receiving a 2nd place finish. Zachary Joachim turned another great performance with a second place finish in the 3000-meter run.
