With only relays left to be run, Stony Brook ended its weekend with a bang, topping the field to win the Distance Medley Relay thanks to strong runs from Grace Sisson, Omokeni, Goslar, and Cirrito.

DAY TWO HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sisson, Omokeni, Goslar, and Cirrito dominated the field to win the DMR with ease, completing the race at an impressive 11:53.83 mark.

“Day two at the Colonial Relays is all about relays, and it was a really nice opportunity for our program to add Stony Brook to the long list of top programs on the East Coast that have won a relay event at this meet,” said Ronan. “We picked up wins for the men and the women today. The women took control of the DMR early with a strong opening leg from Sisson. The other three legs, Omokeni (400m), Goslar (800m), and anchor leg Cirrito (mile), kept the pressure up, and the ladies had a convincing win in the end.”

Up next, the team continues their busy April slate on April 11 when they travel to Providence for the Friar Invitational.

The Stony Brook men’s track and field team showcased several impressive performances at the 59th annual Colonial Relays on April 4 and April 5, going on to pick up three event wins, including a big win in the Distance Medley Relay in Williamsburg, Va.

The relays opened with a bang for the Seawolves as Collin Gilstrap and Henry Gartner triumphed in their respective events.

DAY ONE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Gartner raced to a first-place finish in the 5000m. His time of 14:18.02 earned him a new PR and established a new team-best mark for the season in this event.
  • Gilstrap won the 1500m race with a time of 3:47.39, setting a new season-best for Stony Brook in the event.
  • Ethan Green placed fourth in the 1500m (3:48.93).
  • Steven Struk placed sixth in the 5000m. His solid final time of 14:25.92 was a new PR in the event.
  • Mario Xerri finished seventh in 800m (1:55.93)

“It was a good first day. It’s always nice to get a win or two at this meet,” head coach Andy Ronan noted. “Collin and Henry had strong finishing laps to secure their win in the 1500m and 5000m, respectively. I was also very pleased with Ethan, Steven, and Joseph Bertola, who won the second section of the 5K.”

Stony Brook wrapped up the competition on Saturday by winning the highly touted DMR race.

DAY TWO HIGHLIGHTS

  • Gilstrap, Xerri, Walesky Nowak, and Green teamed up to win the DMR event. Their time of 10:06.03 set a new season-best time for the Seawolves.
  • Stony Brook placed fourth in the 4×1500 relay (16:18.33) courtesy of Thomas Burfeind, Ryan Hesler, Brian Liebowitz, and Collin McLaughlin.

“Day two at the Colonial Relays is all about relays, and it was a really nice opportunity for our program to add Stony Brook to the long list of top programs on the East Coast that have won a relay event at this meet,” said Ronan. “We picked up wins for the men and the women today. Not to be outdone by the ladies, the men’s DMR took care of business in that event and came home with the win. Again, a strong lead-off leg by Collin (1200m) was the key; he gave the other legs of Walesky (400m), Mario (800m), and Freshman Ethan anchor leg (mile) room to relax and run controlled in the windy, warm conditions. The men’s 4x 1500 of Burfeind, Hesler, Liebowitz,  and McLaughlin were in contention for a lot of the race but, in the end, finished up 4th, just missing out on a top 3 finish by less than a second.”

The team continues their busy April slate on April 11 when they travel to Providence for the Friar Invitational.

GAME ONE: STONY BROOK 7, N.C. A&T 1

A pair of hits from Alyssa Costlello and Madelyn Stepski did not amount to runs in the home half of the first frame.

Marissa Thalassinos led off the second inning by drawing a walk, later scoring the game’s first run on a wild pitch. Malorie Hill, who also worked a walk, came around to score on an Ackerman sacrifice fly to make it 2-0.

The Aggies got a run back on a solo homer in the third inning, cutting Stony Brook’s lead in half.

The Seawolves answered back in the home half of the third inning on a Stepski run-scoring triple and a Mia Vannelli RBI groundout. The runs put the Seawolves ahead 4-1.

Stony Brook tacked on additional runs in the fourth frame courtesy of an Ackerman double, a passed ball and sacrifice fly by Costello.

Staked to a six-run lead, Rice made quick work of N.C. A&T in the fifth inning. She ran into trouble in the sixth, but worked through it without any damage and finished what she started with a 1-2-3 seventh inning.

GAME TWO: STONY BROOK 7, N.C. A&T 2

Male took to the circle to start game two, retiring the side in order. Her offense provided her an early lead after an Allen groundout plated Kyra McFarland, who extended her hitting streak to 15 straight games with a leadoff single.

The Seawolves added four runs on five hits in the second inning, opening up a 5-0 lead. Stony Brook loaded the bases with one out and McFarland and Costello plated a run each before Allen singled home a pair. Vannelli’s single through the left side pushed the Seawolves’ advantage to five runs.

Male held the Aggies scoreless until the fifth inning when a two-run blast made it a 5-2 game. Maday entered in relief of Male, working around a one-out double to keep N.C. A&T from doing further damage.

Stony Brook responded, getting both runs right back on a Reinstein two-run homer.

Maday closed the deal, retiring the side in order in the sixth and getting a little help from Reinstein defensively, who threw out a would-be base stealer to end the game and strand runners on the corners.

The Stony Brook men’s track and field team returned to competition on March 29 for the Monmouth Season Opener in West Long Branch, New Jersey. The Seawolves posted several solid showings on the day, including three top-eight placements.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Mario Xerri finished fifth in the 800m (1:55.98).
  • Steven Struk placed seventh in the 1500m event (4:00.39).
  • The team of Luke Clackett, Michael Ye, Ryan Scarry, and Walesky Nowak finished seventh in the 4x100m relay (43.39).

“It was a solid day at Monmouth Today,” head coach Andy Ronan said. “I feel a lot of the athletes are trying to adjust from the false environment of running indoors to having to deal with the elements of outdoor track. And they certainly got a taste of what outdoor conditions can be like. We had a very warm, windy day, and you could see athletes struggling to deal with both. On the men’s side, Mario and Steven were the most competitive on the day, with good runs.”

The team is back in action on April 4 and 5, competing at the Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Virginia. Both days of the meet are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
