Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, but this one is pushing it. I don't see any reason to give them a "good job"
The cessna had no strobes. The tower was operating, so there was no need for the cessna to report clear. The "we missed our exit" transmission was heard at 120+ kts.
F/O saw the tail nav light on the cessna, followed by the illumination of the entire aircraft in the CRJ's landing lights. The abort was initiated at 140kts, and the CRJ literally passed the cessna on the rwy. The aircraft never left the rwy surface.
Sounds like a job well done to me.
