Fordham Quad Meet Results
Metro Holiday Season Opener Results

Bronx/Staten Island, N.Y. - The Stony Brook men’s and women’s track & field teams opened the indoor season with a pair of meets over the weekend, competing in a quad meet at Fordham before taking part in the Metro Holiday Meet at the new Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Staten Island.

Coach Ronan’s Take
“We opened up our indoor season on Friday with our traditional quad meet at Fordham. It was an opportunity for the track athletes to get out and compete after spending the fall training hard. For the coaches, it was a chance to see how the new members of program would compete the first time wearing the Stony Brook uniform.

“We saw a little bit of everything, but overall it was a solid meet for both squads. Kaylyn Gordon picked up where she finished last spring by winning two events, setting herself up for a successful sophomore year.

“On Saturday we sent a small group to the first meet at the new indoor facility on Staten Island. That group was led by a winning performance in the 60-meter hurdles by Courtney Warden, which was good to see as she builds on a very successful freshman year. Strong performances also came from Shanee Grant in the 500-meter and Devon White in the men's 200-meter.

“Both squads will now focus fully on their exams and then head home for the holiday break before returning to campus on January 11 and continuing the season on January 15 back at Fordham.”
