STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., January 7, 2022 – After waiting a year to kick off their inaugural season, the Monroe College Express men's track and field program finally got an opportunity to lace it up at the Wagner College Invitational at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Friday afternoon.

Douglas also competed in the 400-meter dash on Friday, finishing in 52.25 seconds for a 14th place finish in the race.

Romar Scott (Whithorn, Jamaica), Stephenson, and Herbert all highlighted the card for Monroe-Bronx in the One Mile Run, as Scott led the charge with a time of 4:54.88 for a 35th place while Stephenson and Herbert followed after with times of 4:57.55 and 5:17.90.
