Cross Country, Track & Field

Summerville is one of the most decorated runners in Stony Brook history. It has been noted that his arrival on campus in August 2001 was responsible for defining the direction of the Cross Country and Track & Field program. Summerville came to Long Island from New Zealand and is the one that unlocked the door to the rich talent that has passed through Stony Brook over the last 20 years. In the sport of cross country, he was named to the America East All-Conference Team, was a Metropolitan Champion, was an IC4A Team Champion, and competed in a pair of NCAA Northeast Regionals (2003, 2004). On the track, he was an America East Champion in the 4x800 meter relay (2002) and Distance Medley Relay (2004). In 2004, he also won a Metropolitan Championship in the Distance Medley Relay. Summerville was a 2002 Millrose Games runner-up in the 4x800 meter relay and was a seven-time IC4A qualifier. Academically, Summerville earned the 2003-04 SUNY Chancellor award, was a Cross Country Academic All-American, and was tabbed to the America East Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
