Bunsion sprinted his way to an automatic bid for the IC4A Championships in the 400m dash. Going up against a stacked field at the Great Dane Classic in Staten Island, NY, the first-year Blackbird clocked in at 48.94 and ascended to third place on the NEC leader board (trailing only his two senior teammates - Brendon Rodney and Alistair McLean). The time currently stands as the 16th-fastest on the IC4A regional performance list. Bunsion is the second Blackbird to earn the NEC Rookie of the Week award this season, having taken the honor from fellow freshman sprinter Caleb Williams.
