Rodney ran the 60m and 200m dashes for the first time this season while competing at the UAlbany Great Dane Classic, and the third-year Blackbird immediately ascended to the NEC lead in both sprint events. He completed the 60 in 6.87s to take a 0.05-second advantage over FDU's Jasper Savoy for first on the league leader board. Rodney also became the first NEC sprinter to run a sub-22 second 200m dash this season, clocking in at 21.30s.
