NNHS Alumni at USATF Eastern Regionals

There were some notable results from NNHS alumni competing at the 2007 USATF East Region Championships at the State Univ. of NY at Albany on Saturday.

Dave Cahill, Josh Seeherman, and Caroline Occean were all competing for the Greater Boston Track Club, and the meet was also a fierce club competition. The GBTC women won the meet, while the men finished 2nd to ConnQuest (Connecticut).

Occean won the women's 800m with an excellent time of 2:14.68. She also anchored GBTC's women's sprint medley team, which placed 4th in 4:36.15.

Cahill finished 6th in the 400m hurdles in 57.80, and also took 11th in the 400 in 52.08.

Seeherman, a frequent contributor to this blog, placed 11th in the men's 800 in 2:03.65, and also anchored GBTC's men's sprint medley team, which took 3rd in 3:41.42.

Interestingly, running the second leg for GBTC was Lexington grad and Boston Globe runner of the year Darius Walker. Walker had earlier won the 100m (10.43), won the 200 (21.59), placed 3rd in the long jump (21-11.75), and anchored GBTC's 4x100 team, which placed 3rd in 42.33. What a day!
