The BU Valentine's Meet is a chance for open athletes, collegians, and occasionally H.S. kids to post fast times in anticipation of the final big meets of the season.
With one week left before the Mass. Division Meets, David Polgar decided he needed another fast mile to confirm his fitness. He returned to the BU track -- the same one on which he ran a nation-leading 4:17.83 back in December -- and set a new personal best of 4:17.53.
In the collegiate division, three Newton North alumni ran the 3000 meters. Liz Gleason, now at Williams, recorded a personal best 9:55.77 to take second in her heat and 13th overall. This is a tremendous breakthrough for Liz, who set an 9-second PR and broke 10:00 for the first time. Anna Schindler, a freshman at Wesleyan, ran 10:38.10. Dan Chebot, a freshman at University of Rochester, ran 9:12.05, despite being tripped during the race.
Other Newton North alumni running at BU included Josh Seeherman, now representing the Greater Boston Track Club, who ran the 800m in 2:00.49, and teammate Dave Cahill, who ran the 400m in 50.39.

Other alumni were:
11 159 Frankel, Mathieu Brown 15.16m 49-09.00
and Kevin Chan made 45 something, I can't look it up right now 'cause I don't have enough time but it's in the results around 23-rd place in the Shot Put. NNHS kicks ass!! On the note of the DMR-s, the NNHS time was 10:04.18 with a team of Polgar, Slifer, Carpenter, and Barnicle. At the B.U. meet that time would have gotten us 3rd, but we'd still have the number one high school time in the nation this year.
