The team, coached by Lionel Leach, won the relay with a time of 3:20.83, a full second ahead of the second-place team from St. Francis College of Brooklyn.

“The sky is the limit for these young men; few athletes can lay claim to winning the Millrose Games 4×400 meter College Relay. I am so proud of them. Many more titles will follow if they stay the course,” said Coach Leach.
“A wonderful showing by our outstanding student-athletes. I applaud our team, Coach Leach, Athletic Director Doughtie and our entire College Athletic Department. We are very proud of you,” said ECC’s President, Dr. Augustine A. Boakye.
