BOSTON, Mass.—Freshman Eric Holt, sophomore Adam McIe, junior Jesse Garn and senior Chris Fernandez won the 4x800 relay at the ECAC/IC4A Indoor Track Championships at the Boston Track and Tennis Center on Sunday afternoon.

One day after setting the school record by running 7:28.39 in the trials (which placed third overall), the Bearcat quartet clocked a first-place time of 7:23.33 in the finals. Monmouth was second (7:23.65) and Albany was third (7:26.02). Heading into the weekend, the Binghamton program record was 7:34.32, set back in 2011.

What a fantastic run,” head coach Mike Thompson said. Everyone was at their best and just killed it. This is an all-time great Binghamton performance.”

The win concludes a whirlwind month for Garn, who ran the anchor leg in 1:47.5 to seal the win. Three weeks ago, he ran in the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games. Last week, he broke four minutes in the mile at the Boston/Last Chance Meet. In between those two events, he won the America East indoor title in the 1000 on Feb. 24.

On the women s side, freshman Sarah Haley tied for eighth in the pole vault (11-11 ). Two weeks ago, she won that event at the America East Championships.

The women s 4x400 relay team of freshman Sarah Osaheni, junior Ivory Taussig and seniors Kathleen Klein and Erika Kisel finished ninth overall with an indoor program-record time of 3:45.93. The old mark of 3:46.60 was set back in 2010.

NOTES: Fernandez was also on the 2011 school-record 4x800 relay team along with Erik van Ingen, Casey Quaglia and Mike Jennings .. the time of 7:23.33 is the top NCAA Division I time in the nation this year. The 4x800, however, is not an event run at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
