Stratford alum Montie Quinn sets NCAA single-game rushing record

MILTON, MA (WCSC) - Montie Quinn had a day to remember on Saturday.

The Stratford alum set the NCAA single-game rushing record for Curry College, a Division 3 school in Massachusetts in their win over Nichols College.

Quinn rushed for 522 yards on 20 carries and 7 touchdowns in the 71-27 victory.

The touchdown runs went to 64, 30, 76, 84, 58, 2 and 85 yards.

“Man, I’m just humbled and grateful.” Quinn said in a statement through his team. “Breaking the record is something I never imagined coming into today. The O-Line was dominating all game, receivers were blocking like crazy and coaches put us in position to make plays. This belongs to all of us, I just happened to be the one carrying the ball”

“What Montie did today was nothing short of amazing.” Curry Head Coach Todd Parsons said through the team. “Breaking the NCAA rushing record is a monumental achievement but I think he’d be the first to tell you, records like this don’t happen alone. Our Offensive Line played lights out, our receivers blocked downfield, and our quarterback made great decisions.”

Quinn is in his 4th year at Curry where he broke the single season rushing record both his sophomore and junior seasons. He was a 1st team D3 All-American last season.
