ABOUT THE HOYAS
- The Hoyas are in the midst of an outdoor season that has already seen many athletes post times that will qualify them for the postseason at east prelims.
- Last week, a small contingent of Hoyas traveled to Azusa, California for the Bryan Clay Invitational and posted strong 1,500-meter times from both the men's and women's squads.
- For his efforts, Matthew Payamps was named the BIG EAST Men's Track Athlete of the Week on Wednesday after running 3:55.80, the eighth-fastest 1,500-meter time in the country, and a time that tops the BIG EAST Conference.
