Philadelphia – A contingent from the Stony Brook outdoor track & field teams competed Thursday and Friday at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The Seawolves saw three athletes – junior Christine Eisenberg (Hauppauge, N.Y.), sophomore Michael Watts (Islip, N.Y.) and sophomore Danny Connelly (Mount Sinai, N.Y.) – achieve ECAC/IC4A standards in their respective events.
Coach Ronan’s Take
"The Distance group took advantage of the competition and conditions to produce three quality performances. Our relay teams competed hard and gained good experience for future events."
