NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The Monroe College Men’s Track & Field team recently completed its outdoor season with a fifteenth-place showing at the NJCAA National Championship in Levelland, TX. Shortly thereafter, the USTFCCCA & NJCAA recognized four members of the team as All-Americans. Mpho Makofane was named an All-American in two different categories.
The four members of the 4X800 relay team — Jaymes Dennison, Rajay Hinds, Makofane and Christian Patterson — were selected for their blistering-fast time of 7:50.39, which earned the a second-place national rank. Makofane also earned a spot for the 800 meters, where he finished with a time of 1:52.48 at the national championship. Makofane also took home Atlantic Region Runner of the Year earlier in the season.
Head Coach Lesleigh Hogg reflected on the accomplishment, “The relay team has performed consistently well all year.” He continued, “They deserve this honor as they were the lynchpin to another successful season. It was a pleasure to coach all of them.”
