HIGH POINT, NC – Rider University men's track and field runner Mamadi Diawara saw his season come to an end with a victory at the Dani Palooza Last Chance meet Sunday.
 
Diawara posted a time of 51.95 in the 400-hurdles, good enough t be the winning time on the day, but unfortunately not fast enough to be a qualifying time for the upcoming NCAA regionals.
 
Notes and Quotes
"He was running a great race and unfortunately hit the fifth hurdle pretty hard losing his momentum. He rallied nicely, but it just killed his rhythm. It was a great effort. He's had a great spring and this is leaving a bad taste in his mouth, but I'm really proud of what he's accomplished this season. The future is really bright." - Director of Cross Country, Track and Field Bob Hamer
 
- Diawara's time ranks third in program history in the event.
