He also ran the second leg on a relay that posted an IC4A-qualifying time of 3:16.75. Other relay members were Pat Weider (50.0), Joe Belokopitsky (49.7) and Joe Greene, who ran a 46.9 split on the anchor leg. UAlbany had three IC4A qualifiers in the 60-meter - Burnett (6.86), Pat Weider (6.94) and Dieuseul Joseph (6.95). Pat Weider finished second in the 200m in 22.14 to post an IC4A mark.

The Great Danes had three other first-place finishers, including John Moore in the 800-meter run (1:55.65), Freddie Wills in the high jump (6'4.25") and Luke Schoen in the pole vault (15-9). Schoen recorded the second-best height by a UAlbany vaulter and qualified for the IC4A Championship. James Nixon cleared the bar at 16-feet, 3-inches in 1993.
