Giannino crushed a 21-year old school record in the 5,000-meter run, at the Division I John Thomas Terrier Classic hosted by Boston University on Saturday. Giannino finished with a time of 14:15.85, besting RIT Hall of Famer Kevin Collins' school record of 14:28.66 set in 1994. It is the fastest time in Division III this season and among the top-15 fastest times in Division III history.

"Matt ran a perfect race," said RIT head coach Dave Warth. "He got out in great position and had the best closing kick I've ever seen him have. Matt came here and did exactly what he set out to do."
