The roster of any sports team is generally dotted with the names of a few players who stand out above all others.
This season, 39 runners in particular from both the Marist men and women's outdoor track and field rosters stand out due to their underclassmen status.
Given the Red Foxes respective fourth and fifth place finish in the MAAC championships at Rider University for men and women's track and field, they will rely on the heavy amount of youth on their rosters to help them succeed in seasons to come.
During the 2009 MAAC championships, the Red Foxes received stellar efforts from runners on both the men's and women's sides.
The team's only victory of the day came courtesy of junior Max Carow with his leap of 4.17 meters in the pole vault event.
"Condition's were tough on Sunday, but guys were able to put in some big performances allowing us to place fourth overall," Carow said. "It feels good to have won the pole vault after all the effort I've put into it."
Taking third was sophomore Tim Keegan in the 10K, and the 400 relay team.
Made up of freshmen Michael McCloskey and Neil Veits, and sophomores John Kristie and Tom Devaney finished third with a time of 46.36.
"We were pretty happy with it [Third place finish]," Veits said. "We knew that Manhattan and St. Peter's were going to run away with it, so we were happy to stay in third."
The Manhattan Jaspers kept true to their reputation with a dominating performance in the championship. After finishing with 225 points, the Manhattan men earned their 12th consecutive MAAC title.
Leading the way for the Jasper's was Albert Johnson III who won the long jump, triple jump, and 200-meter race. Johnson was named the men's most outstanding performer for field events.
Although only the top three teams present at the tournament broke the 100-point mark, there were still plenty of remarkable performances.
"Manhattan always has a good team," Veits said. "All the other teams that were there with their performances and times, the weather was poor, but they were still impressive."
