Belmaggio won the 3200 in 9:28.82. His PR is 9:25.97. “I was really happy about winning. I think I had a smart race and was glad to contribute to the team’s score,” said Belmaggio.

Another athlete who stood out was Will Cioffi. During the 1600 Cioffi placed second and set a new school record of 4:20.61.

with the graduation of several powerful seniors, the team hopes to build some of the younger members to take their places.
