"Cristian made a great effort today," head coach Dale Kennedy said. "He has nothing to be ashamed of. Finishing second at this level is something anyone should be proud of. Congratulations to Cheserak on his race. He ran well today and Cristian just couldn't get it don't."
Soratos made an early move, leading going into the final lap, but Cheserak came from behind and pulled away to the finish. Yesterday the senior broke the NCAA record for the fastest preliminary mile run at the national championships, running a time of 3:57.94.
"Lyle has done a great job turning him into the athlete he is today. I look forward to watching him progress even more this spring."
