Weekend Results: BU Mini-Meet #1

NNHS Alumnus Dave Cahill took another two steps towards life as a middle distance runner, running both the mile and the 800m at the first mini-meet at Boston University yesterday.

Cahill ran 4:43.21 in the 1M, and then came back later to win the 800m outright in 1:59.99! If he continues with the mile, watch for his time to drop as he gets used to the distance.

Many of the older runners at the meet took refuge in the 3000m. I want to mention on performance as especially notable: Craig Fram, 49 years old, ran 9:06.45, or the equivalent of a 9:47 2-Mile. His son, who is a H.S. sophomore (I think) ran 9:34.16.

That's an impressive family double! How soon do you think Craig Fram junior will be able to beat Craig Fram senior?

9:06 => 9:50 ??

Where does that conversion come from?

I think 41 seconds is more reasonable. For one example, the McMillan Running Calculator (http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/cgi-bin/calculations.pl) gives a conversion of 9:06 => 9:46.5
