Head Coach Rich Biondi shared his comments on Colin Donahoe after the meet: "Colin Donahoe ran a stellar race in the 600 Meters. Colin's effort was the 2nd fastest in the history of the Winter Track and Field program. Colin ran a smart race and demonstrated grit and tougness in the latter stages of the race. I have had the priviledge to coach Colin since middle school. He has grown so much as an athlete and young man. Colin's dedication to self improvement has been a model for the younger athletes and I am really excited to watch him perform at the championship meets."
