Munnelly covered his 800 meters in 2:00 flat, while Reichert finished up with a 4:20 over the last 1,600 meters. "Dylan is certainly the core of our middle-distance group this year having run 1:52 in the open 800 meters last spring," commented Straub. "For the DMR to get back to nationals we need three guys capable of running 1:52 for 800m or 4:10 for the mile and get back down close to 10-flat." The distance medley relay team will next step onto the track on Friday night, Feb. 7 at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational at the historic New York City Armory.
