Marcus O'Sullivan made his Armory debut on February 9, 2002, as a 40 year old masters runner. In an unusual episode, Marcus served as a rabbit in the 3000 meter championship race -- a race that had three of his own collegiate runners competing (see photo above with Ryan Hayden trailing his coach early on). In the race, Ryan Hayden (8:00.60) was beaten by a stride by Stanford's Seth Hejny (7:59.91). O'Sullivan was working his way to a master's world record at 3000 meters, which he attained on February 26, 2002 when he ran 8:09.13 at Penn State. Villanova's Tom Parlapiano won that race, but the Villanova coach came third, setting a record that was broken only in January 2010. The results of that WR effort for O'Sullivan were:
