Farrell was named the track athlete of the week after setting a new school record for the Greyhounds at the Sam Howell Invitational. He set a new school mark of 31:12.63 at the 10,000-meter run and what was also an ECAC qualifying mark. Farrell placed tenth in his heat and 31st of 52 runners in the race in a field of predominantly Division I competitors.
