Day 2 at the BU Valentine's Meet
In the mile, Noah Jampol was on pace for a 4:24 mile through 1400m, but faded a bit in the last lap. Nevertheless, Noah notched a season's best time of 4:26.43. The mile was certainly a deep event, with 56 runners unders 4:20. One of them was Brookline's Robert Gibson, who ran a personal best 4:15.70.
Cailean Robinson, now matriculating at Phillips Exeter, ran 6.54 in the prelims of the 55 dash (10th fastest time from a field of 119) to qualify for the two-section final. In the final, he ran 6.57, placing 6th in his section. Cailean also competed in the 200, running 22.34 to place 25th out of 207 competitors!
David Cahill ran 1:05.04 to place 7th overall in the 500. In the 800, Josh Seeherman overcame a poor start in which he was elbowed, cut off, and generally abused, to run 2:02.17
In the 3000m, Dan Chebot ran a personal best and ECAC-qualifying time of 8:57.50. Congratulations, Dan!

David Smith competed in both the shot put and the weight throw. In the shot, Smith threw 14.60 (47-11), and in the weight, he threw 13.24 (43-5.25).
Scott Cole Runs 2:04 and Finally Gets Noticed
Let's see if I can finally manage to post results for Scott Cole without being reminded... Scott ran the 800 at the Cardinal Invitational (at Wesleyan), finishing second in 2:04.82. Scott is having a great indoor season!
Another result I'm glad I didn't miss this week:
At the Virginia Tech Elite Meet, Jess Barton ran a season's best 9:57.56 for 3000m, finishing 3rd in her section, and 9th overall in a field of 33.
Barnicle Runs 4:09 at Armory
The Men's championship mile at the New Balance Invitational in NYC featured a reunion of sorts for three former Massachusetts state champions: La Salle's Sean Quigley finished 3rd overall in a personal best time of 4:01.35; Georgetown's Michael Banks finished 8th in 4:04.56; and Chris Barnicle finished 15th in 4:09.26. Also in the race was former Cushing Academy star Ayalew Taye, who placed 5th in 4:03.63.

2nd: 4 years ago if you took a poll of who would be the next sub-4:00 from Massachusetts . . . . Victor Gras, Chris Barnicle, Michael Banks . . . Sean Quigley ?! Keith Gill ??!!
What's going on with Barnicle? Is he sick, injured, caught up in the crazy college life? Does anyone know what has happened?
Powell, Sanchez, Mcardle, Gras, Barnicle, and so it goes...There seems to be a trend of really talented Mass. runners reaching their potential early in their running careers.
I don't think Chris has reached his potential. He ran big PRs at 5K and 10K (xc) in 2007. Although 4:09 isn't much faster than he ran in HS, it's still 4:09. I think that Chris will go faster.
Mcardle was improving drastically in college and then got injured. He had not reached his potential.
maybe chris training for the marathon, so he doesn't have much speed for the 1/27th of a marathon distance race.
