SACRAMENTO, CA - William and Mary’s track season drew to a close late last night with the conclusion of the men’s 5,000m preliminaries at the NCAA Championships. The Tribe’s sole competitor in the event, sophomore Christo Landry (Falls Church, VA) was hampered by injury but still managed to finish the race in a time of 14:32.20, missing the qualifying cut for Friday’s finals.

Landry had a successful season despite last night’s disappointing race, qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive year and becoming the sixth-fastest 5,000m runner in school history when he ran 13:53.62 at Stanford at the end of April.

Even though the College’s season is over, track and field fans can enjoy a special treat on Saturday, when CBS will air two and a half hours of coverage from the Championships in a national broadcast from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM EST.
