NEW YORK — The Stony Brook men's and women's track & field teams will send their 4x400m relay teams to the 110
th Millrose Games
Saturday at the Armory.
Both teams will compete in the Metropolitan 4x400m against Columbia, Fordham, Manhattan, and New York University. The women's field will also include St. John's.
"The Millrose Games will feature several Olympic gold medalists as well as collegiate, high school, club and youth competitors," said head coach
Andy Ronan. "The last time we had a competitor at the games was in 2012, when Lucy Van Dalen competed in the 1500m. Later that season she would go on to win the mile at the NCAA Championships."
"Both relay teams are entering the meet running well. The men just broke the school record and the women just missed it two weeks ago at the Terrier Classic in Boston," added Ronan. "This will be an exciting experience for both teams and we are confident that they will represent the program and Stony Brook University very well on the big stage."
