Cox represents Red Dragons

Dustin Cox cant get enough track and field. The standout freshman was the lone Red Dragon competing at the 2010 Empire State games last week hosted by Buffalo, NY. Cox, a resident of Pulaski, NY and a multi-event athlete was kept busy representing the Central region in the high jump, 400m hurdles, 110m high hurdles, and the 4x400m relay.

In finals of each event, Cox jumped a respectable height of 1.80m, good enough for a 7th place finish in the high jump, a 5th place finish in the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:01.92, a 6th place finish in the 110m high hurdles with a time of 17.37, and teamed with Brad DePoint of Fulton, NY, Anthony Carapella of Baldwinsville, NY, and Jeffrey Naylor of Elmira, NY to pick up another 6th place finish in the 4x400m relay.

Cox is coming off of an impressive freshman year for the Red Dragons after capturing the SUNYAC indoor title in the high jump. He will return this season with great anticipation to be a team leader and be one of the top athletes in the conference.
