Friday was a historic day for Stony Brook Track and Field at the Fastrack National Invitational, as sophomore mid-distance runner Luke Coulter of the Men’s team broke the program record for the 800 meter race with a time of 1:52.44. “Luke was certainly the star of the day, he ran a perfect tactical race, positioned himself well throughout the race and ran confidently to the finish line,” head coach Andy Ronan said in a press release.
The women poured in 44 points from the field events, combining with 67 points from the track events to end the championship in fourth place with 111 points.
“I had a couple goals to set in high school, which I didn’t achieve,” Brooks said. “I can’t just stop here now, I have to keep going, I have to set those goals.”
Melian finished third in the women’s 6K race at Boston for the NCAA Northeast Regionals on Nov. 13. The SBU junior ran a time of 20:29.5 to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
