Keith Gill, Kevin Gill, and Doug Caves qualified for the finals of the mile and 400m, respectively, and two Mass. relay teams scored at the NCAA DII Nationals, taking place at Minnesota State University this weekend.
Keith Gill, a 2004 graduate of Brockton and a senior at Stonehill College, was recently named the NCAA DII men's indoor track athlete of the year. On Friday, he won his heat of the 1 mile prelims in 4:17. Brother Kevin, a freshman at Stonehill, ran 4:14 to qualify on time in the faster of the two heats. The finals are today at 4:10 Central Time.
Kevin Gill also competed on Stonehill's DMR team, running the 800 leg for a team which placed 5th in 10:05.35. Last year, Keith Gill ran the mile prelims and the DMR on Friday, and seemed a bit tired for the mile final on Saturday. As the top seed going into the meet, we wish him the best of luck as he pursues a national championship.
Also running the DMR and finishing 6th in 10:07.65 was UMASS-Lowell, with an all-Massachusetts team of Angus MacDonald (Central Catholic), Doug Caves (Oxford), Mike Malinowski (Peabody), and Ruben Sanca (O'Bryant). It has been a breakthrough for Sanca on the track, as he twice ran 4:11 for the full mile this season, six seconds faster than his previous PR.
Caves ran 48.96 to win his heat of the 400m and make it to the finals.

Sanca also ran 4:08 this season.
When did Sanca run 4:08? I must have missed that... Was it for the full mile?
Yup, Ruben ran 4:08.3 at IC4A's, so a full mile. Not bad for a guy with a 4:28ish pr in high school.
