Powlison (2nd from left) during the ’01 cross country season

On this day 16 years ago, Hannah Powlison broke the school record in the 800m at the Suffolk County Championships.

The sophomore ran 2:17.7, slicing nearly four seconds off the previous mark set by Anne Shybunko in 1989. Powlison eventually reset her own record to 2:17.5, which remains the top Stony Brook mark to this day.
