More marks from NNHS alumni on one of the busiest weekends of the indoor season:
Noah Jampol ran 4:28.75 to place 9th in the mile at the Patriot Games, hosted by George Mason University. Not sure whether Jampol doubled back in either the JHU 4x800 or distance medley relays.
At the BU Terrier Invitational, Caroline Occean continued her outstanding winter by placing 4th in the 1000 in a blazing 2:56.50. That was on Friday. The next day, she helped the Greater Boston TC win the women's distance medley.
Also at BU, Yale freshman David Smith placed 8th in the shot put with a toss of 14.11m (46-03.50), and 18th in the weight throw, heaving the big ball 12.81m (42-00.50). Dave Cahill placed 15th in the 500m, running 1:05.49.
No sign of David Polgar on his home track, though. Dave ran last weekend against Boston College and Sacred Heart, placing 4th in the 1000 with a time of 2:36.40. We hope he's not hurt.
The Terrier Invitational has become one of the deepest indoor meets in the country. Consider these numbers from the men's meet on Saturday:
27 runners under 50 in the 400.
24 runners under 1:58 in the 800.
13 runners under 2:30 in the 1000.
35 runners under 4:20 in the mile.
24 runners under 8:30 in the 3000
(Former Mass. Xc champion Sean Quigley won in 7:52).
15 runners under 15:00 in the 5K.
I'll also mention a couple of Brookline grads who did well at BU: Vanessa Mazandi, now running for Central Park Track Club, finished 5th in the 800, running 2:11.63. Jerzy Eisenberg-Guyot ran 16:13.35 in the 5000.
Haleigh Smith and Steph O'Brien both won their events at the Wesleyan Invitational Saturday. Smith won the mile in 5:22.38, while O'Brien took the 500 in 1:18.96.

Misprint - Caroline didn't run in the DMR (but the 2:56 broke the club record by a tenth of a second).
After everyone cleared out from BU for the Boston Indoor Games, none other than Sean Quigley ran an awesome race, mowing down Reid Coolsaet in the 3K who is no slouch. Low 7:50's; serious business. Also, the splits of the sub-4 mile winner were 2:02-1:57. Definitely not how a mile is typically run.
Lastly my race at Terrier was horrible. All who read this, be weary of hanging out in Lane 2 for the majority of an 800. Bad, very bad.
