After finishing second in the event as a junior, Abdallah breezed to the 3K title in a time of 8:27.46. It is the senior's third UAA title, as he won the 2007 Outdoor 10,000-meter crown and the 2005 Cross Country championship.

Overall, the Violets accumulated 14 points in the 3,000-meter run, continuing their tradition of long-distance excellence. Senior Michael Peroutka placed fourth in 8:43.57 to score four points, a year after he finished third in the event.

Senior Spenser Popeson also enjoyed a solid day for NYU, taking fifth in the 800-meter run finals (2:00.92) and sixth in the one-mile run (4:25.89).

Capping the final day of competition for the Violets was a sixth-place performance in the 4x400 relay. The quartet of junior Bernier Lauredan, Jr., senior Jean Blardony, junior Maciej Szelezak, and senior Nile Nahar-Brown hit the tape in 3:32.30.

Overall, NYU accumulated 25 team points to place sixth.
