HEALING POWER: Princeton University track star Mark Amirault powers to the finish line in a race during his Tiger running career. After dealing with injury woes that sidelined him as a freshman and slowed his progress as a sophomore, Amirault emerged as a standout. The Walpole, Mass. native won two titles at the Indoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships and three at the Outdoor Heps. He also anchored the 4xMile relay team which won the Championship of America at this year’s Penn Relays. Last weekend, he finished his Princeton career by taking 12th in the 5,000 at the NCAA championship meet to earn second-team All American status.
