Inspired by a classic scene from Chariots of Fire in which Harold Abrahams successfully completes Cambridge Universitys Trinity Great Court Run before the Kings Gate Clock strikes 12 the students of 91 Aquinas College staged their own quad run this past weekend.

Eleven women and 23 men took turns, during which they sprinted, in pairs, a clockwise course around the academic quadrangle, beginning and ending by St. Bernardine of Siena Library.

Among the men, the Carey family of Wilton, California, dominated, claiming the top three positions:

  1. Stephen Carey (16) 38.64
  2. James Carey (18) 39.25
  3. Andrew Carey (16) 39.28

In the womens field, a mere one-hundredth of a second separated first and second place. The top three finishers were:

  1. April Shonnard (16) 44.92
  2. Katie Wall (18) 44.93
  3. Veronica Kuenstle (17) 45.73
