Track Teams Make History in Debut at BIG EAST Championships

VILLANOVA, Pa. -- The Creighton Track program's first trip to the BIG EAST Championships was a success as CU broke two school records and earned points in three events in its debut.

Marcos Gonzalez made history on Friday night when he registered CU's first points ever at the league championships with a sixth-place showing in the steeplechase, finishing the 3,000 meter race in a season-best time of 9:08.98 that was just behind his school-record effort of 9:06.50.

"It's a big moment for our program and a special moment for an incredible young man and his family," said head coach Chris Gannon.
