Lots of NCAA conference meet action to report from around the country.
While Boston College was hosting North Carolina in basketball, North Carolina was hosting the ACC Indoor Championships. Wake Forest freshman Jess Barton had a busy weekend. On Friday, she ran 5:00.03 to qualify for the finals of the women's mile. On Saturday, she ran 5:05.28 in the finals, and then doubled back to run 10:06.99 in the 3000m.
At the same meet, Boston College sophomore and Wellesley alum Brielle Chabot ran 17:01 for 5000m on Friday and 10:02.41 for 3000m Saturday.
At the SEC Championships, hosted by Arkansas, Chris Barnicle ran a PR 8:03.29 for 3000m, finishing 3rd and scoring 6 points for the Razorbacks. (8:03 is the equivalent of an 8:39 two mile, folks! It is also a provisional mark for the NCAA championships.) Chris is also entered in the 5000m Sunday and hopes to get an NCAA automatic qualifier.
On Day 1 of the Heptagonals (Ivy League), hosted by Cornell, Yale freshman David Smith threw the weight 13.34 (43-9.25). He'll compete in the shot put tomorrow.
Noah Jampol ran the mile at the Centennial Conference Championships on Saturday, placing 12th in a field of 21 in 4:31.34.
ADDED 3/2: Dan Chebot ran a personal best for 3000m at the New York State Championships on Saturday. The Rochester junior ran 8:52.08 to place 9th overall at the meet, hosted by St. Lawrence University. Dan has qualified to run the ECAC championships next weekend in Boston.

BC's amd Natick's Jen Heyde also did the 1M/3K double at the ACCs - 5:05.53 & 10:06.45.
Hey Jon, I ran the 4x8 today(won't show in the results), split 2 flat going out in 57 flat on that flat, miserable track that is Ursinus. Pleased with that for sure. 3K, we were desperate for point so I went for broke and the paid the price, but no worries. Calves were killing(really shouldn't run in Milers for the 3K). In the mile I had to hurdle twice to go over a kid who ate it, and it kinda messed me up. Should've been a 4:29 or so race(still not my best), but what can you do.
