that. Gagnon's winning time in the 800-meter run was 1:50.03, winning the race
by one and a half seconds. Other top performers at Miami included Michael
Rutt (Sinking Spring, Pa.), who finished in third in the 800-meter run with
a time of 1:52.07. Tyrone Faverey (Allentown, Pa.) finished third in the
high jump, clearing 6-4¾, as well as fourth in the triple jump, with a leap of
46-6. Kyle Edmonds (Metuchen, Pa.) finished fourth in the 400-meter
intermediate hurdles with a time of 51.80 seconds. While eight athletes
competed in Miami, the rest of the team competed at the Brown Invitational in
Providence, R.I. Alex Banach (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) won the 400-meter
intermediate hurdles with a time of 55.20 seconds. Other top performers there
