Kingsway’s Stone Caraccio ran an indoor 800 PR Saturday at Boston University at the IC4As and qualified for Sunday’s final.
Caraccio, a junior at Monmouth, ran 1:51.62, breaking his lifetime best indoors of 1:52.08, which he ran at the 2022 Metro Atlantic Championships at the Armory. Caraccio split 26.85, 27.41, 28.58 and 28.80.
Caraccio’s outdoor PR is 1:50.83 from a meet at Princeton in May of 2022. He ran more than a second faster than he had previously this winter. He ran 1:52.80 at the Coastal Athletic Conference Championships last weekend at the Armory.
The Mount Royal native’s time is No. 6 on the all-time Monmouth indoor list.
Rancocas Valley’s Ian Moore, a Monmouth junior, ran 1:51.96 and missed qualifying for the final by 2-100th of a second. He’s run 1:50.84 outdoors and just PR’d indoors with a 1:51.70 at the CAA Championships.
The final is scheduled for 12:20 p.m. Sunday.
