RPI junior Joe Domanico earned NCAA All-America in leading Rensselaer to a school record 10th place finish at the NCAA Division III Championship. He was 17th in the field of 279 finishers to pace the Engineers, who had 333 points for its first top-10 finish. Domanico was in 124th place after the first 1K (3:08.1) before moving up 76 spots to get to 48th place at the 3K mark (9:15.0). A 3:23.7 split put him in 47th at 4K (12:38.7) before he advanced 18 spots into 29th at the 6.4K mark (19:58.3). A final kick of 4:50.9 brought him into 17th place overall with a time of 24:49.1 - the first time Joe has broken 25:00.0 in his college career. He scored 14 points, which was the best total for any competitor from a Liberty League school and second from a squad from the northeast.
