Cornell University Athletics

At Cornell
After injury caused a disappointing freshman season, Aaronson came into his sophomore year with hopes of earning a spot on the indoor and outdoor Heps team. Making it on the Heps team during his first indoor season ever, he came up short in the 60m dash placing seventh, one spot away from scoring. The next weekend he scored second place in the IC4A meet in the 55m dash.

During the following outdoor season he placed second in the 100m, fifth in long jump, and ran the third leg of the championship 4x100m team, aiding in Cornell's eighth Heps victory. The following indoor season, his junior year, he placed fourth in the 60m dash and third in long jump. Due to the unexpected cold weather during the outdoor season, a hamstring injury slowed training and the season did not go as smoothly as expected. Yet, despite setbacks he made it onto the outdoor Heps team and ran the lead off leg of the championship 4x100m relay team, placed third in long jump, and fifth in the 100m dash. He is also a member of the Cornell men’s soccer team.

As a senior, Aaronson had a spectacular conclusion to his Cornell career. He scored a point for Cornell by placing sixth in the 60-meter dash at the Indoor Heps, a meet where he also took second in the long jump with a distance of 23' 11 3/4". He finished third in the 60-meter dash at the Indoor IC4As, and he was 15th in the long jump at that competition. At the Outdoor Heps, Aaronson was fourth in the 100-meter dash to score four points for Cornell, and he was the third leg in Cornell's winning 4x100 relay. During that meet, he also won the long jump with a distance of 24' 2 1/2". He made it to the NCAA East Regional in the long jump, coming in 44th with a jump of 21' 11". His time of 6.79 in the 60-meter dash is now the fifth-best time in school history. He ran the 100 in 10.59w seconds earlier in the year, which is the 11th-fastest time ever at Cornell.
