Recently The Circle's sports editor Paul Seach sat down with Eli Bisnett-Cobb, who qualified for the IC4A championships after winning the high hurdle event, and asked him five quick questions.
1. Now that you qualified for the IC4A Championships, how do you feel?
It's like a big monkey off my back. I have been close for three years now, so I got over the hump a lot [by qualifying].
2. How do you feel looking back on your senior year at Marist?
So far this is the most talented team I've been a part of. I have had the most success this year, which took me by surprise.
3. Where does track fit in your future?
I would like to keep competing, but I am not sure with my knees. I am not sure if they can hold up much longer. I would also like to go into athletic training and coaching, while competing part time in high hurdles.
4. What do you think of the track program from when you first came to Marist until now?
It progressed a lot over the past three to four years, strictly guys and girls track. Back then, there were 10 total [athletes on the team]. Now there's 20-25.
5. Who do you think you can credit for that?
The head men and women's track coach, assistant sprinters and jumpers coaches.
6. What advice would you like to leave Marist College with?
Just make sure whatever you do, you do it because you want to do it and enjoy it. If you are not having fun, it might be time for a change. Also, as I look back at college, my athletic experiences have been the cause of my most memorable moments at Marist.
