Former Xaverian Star Mark Amirault Anchors Princeton's 4x1 Mile Victory at Penn Relays



Princeton senior Mark Amirault, a former Mass track and cross-country champion at Xaverian Brothers H.S., ran a 4:02.8 anchor leg to give Princeton its first victory in the 4x1 Mile at the Penn Relays. It was also the first Ivy League win in the event since 1931.

Amirault, who has been tearing up the track this spring, began the final leg trailing Indiana's Ben Hubers and Arkansas's Duncan Phillips. Phillips led the charge to catch the leader, and Amirault followed, putting himself in perfect position to kick by Phillips in the home stretch.
