This Day in Bentley History - March 30, 2013: School Record Set at Raleigh Relays

RALEIGH, N.C. – During the Raleigh Relays Saturday at North Carolina State's Paul Herr Track, four members of the Bentley University men's outdoor track team broke a 12-year-old school record in the seldom-contested 4x1500 meter relay.

Freshman Sean Nee (West Yarmouth, Mass./Dennis-Yarmouth Reg. HS) and junior Conor Higgins (Randolph, N.J./Randolph HS) combined with seniors John Drago (Avon, Conn./Avon HS) and Craig Robinson (Scarborough, Maine/Scarborough HS) for a time of 16:34.58. That bettered the record set at the same meet in 2001 by about 11 seconds and put the Falcons tenth of 11 in the event, behind nine Division I teams.

Nee ran the opening leg in 4:09.1, Higgins posted a 4:11.5, Drago ran a 4:06.6 over the third leg and Robinson closed in 4:07.1.
