Anyone who has walked down the hallway of the McLaughlin Athletic Center towards the tennis courts has probably noticed the huge plaque on the wall, and had no idea what it represented. It represents track excellence, and has been hanging somewhere at La Salle since 1942. Well, now there is going to be another one. Bouthilette ran a 3:09.44 for 1200 meters, Morenzi posted a 50.96 for the 400, Paiva ran a blistering 1:57.2 for the 800, and Salisbury used his patented kick in his 4:14.52 1600 meter final leg to give the Maroon the win. 

Check out the accompanying picture and see if you recognize the plaque and where it is in the MAC.
