Among the top performances was a record-breaking finish in the Distance Medley Relay – breaking a 29-year-old record.

Four Seahawks, senior James Johnston (Middle Island, NY/Longwood), junior Derek Schultz (Ocean Port, NJ/Shore Regional), senior Kevin Kearney (Haddonfield, NJ/St. Joe's Prep), and sophomore Thomas Iannacone (Havertown, PA/St. Joe's Prep) earned a trip to Boston, MA by qualifying for the IC4A/ECAC's on March 6th with a 10:13.64 finish in the Distance Medley Relay. The time is nearly seven seconds better than the previous Wagner College record of 10:20.09 set in 1981.
