“Geneseo athletes brought home 12 All-American honors, which includes a national champion relay team” said Assistant Coach Dan Moore.”This was a great way to end the season that started off rough with bitterly cold temperatures, one of the snowiest early winter months on record, and a flu strand that just would not go away. SUNY Geneseo was represented incredibly well this National Championship weekend.”
The Men’s Distance Medley Relay took home the gold, claiming a National Title. The team, which consisted of Luke Holtzman, Zach Hannahoe, Gillan Faulkner, and Issac Garcia-Cassani, ran a 9:56.62 to beat out the other teams.
Garcia-Cassani came back on day two to take second place in the Men’s 3000 Meter run.
Camille Wutz took fourth in the Women’s Long Jump, earning her an All-American finish.
Shayna Held also claimed All-American honors with a seventh place finish in the Pentathalon.
Erin Mac Dougall took third place in the Women’s 60 Meter Hurdles, earning her All-American honors.
The Women’s 4×400 Meter Relay team placed sixth in a tough field, earning them All-American.
