...writer for The Onion, has a knack for crafting characters that aren’t exactly living the dream. This was evident in “The Wrestler” and is echoed here. But rather than portray a man who has fallen from former glory, his directorial debut brings to life a character that has never and will never achieve glory, or any semblance of an independent life above mediocrity.

The Crimson men and women had markedly different results at the Iona College Meet of Champions—held at Van Cortland Park in Riverdale N.Y. on Saturday morning—but both squads enjoyed strong performances from a number of sophomores, and a rookie, to kick off the fall season.
