Stein almost achieved ECAC qualifying marks in two events at Princeton’s New Year Invitational. The sophomore sprinter was the runner-up in the 500-meter and later ran the third leg of the second-place 4x400-meter relay. Her 500-meter time of 1:17.09 was a mere 1.09 off the ECAC standard, while the 4x4 clocked in at 3:55.00, 1.06 seconds short of the qualifying mark.
