More exciting results from the final mini-meet of 2007 held, as always, at the lightning fast track at BU.
In the 3K, Newton South alum Mike Fisher ran what I believe is a PR 8:22.17 to take second to former Boston English star and Arkansas All-American Said Ahmed (8:17.23) in the seeded section. Other luminaries in that heat included former Mass. stars Eric Ashe (Whitman-Hanson) in 8:23.47, Matt Lacey (Amherst) in 8:28.48, and Matt Tieuli (St John's - Shrewsbury) in 8:42.64.
Ahmed came back in the mile and won his second race, clocking 4:08.58 to win by 80 meters. Other notables included current Whitman-Hanson star Peter Gilmore (4th in 4:21.33), former Central Catholic star Angus Macdonald (5th in 4:21.62),
Two Bay Staters - Braintree's Chris Stack and Kyle Higgins -- finished in a near dead heat at 4:40.73 and 4:40.77. Former Weymouth captain Mark Jordan ran 4:54.71.
Newton North alumni were represented by Josh Seeherman (4:44.37) and Caroline Occean, who ran an outstanding time of 5:13.77.
Dave Cahill ran 1:56.86 for 800 but had to contend with Ahmed, who ran 1:53.28 in his third race of the day for the win.
Stack (2:07.26) and Higgins (2:07.47) ran nearly identical times, but in different heats. Jordan came back to run 2:10.67.
In the 400, former Gloucester star Sean Murphy ran 50.66, while younger brother Liam ran 52.52. Triton's Keely Maguire sharpened her top-end speed by running 60.96.
And was that Haleigh Smith winning section 10 in 64.73? Reading "Haley Smith" leaves one to wonder.

There is also Omar Aden a junior at Charlestown who got second with a 4:20 in the mile.
Wow... Aden could be the next Ahmed- city school kid, training w/ nobody, running low 4's!
Aden has a good coach. Charlestown is up and coming - we need another wave of good coaches like him in the Boston Public Schools.
BPS should be kicking ass.
