Alumni Results from Boston, NESCACs, Penn Relays

Trying to catch up with a number of results, starting with Monday's Boston Marathon and working my way through the week...

At least one NNHS alum ran Boston, and I have to believe there were others. Jamie Kreider finished the marathon in 2:46:15, passing the half marathon in 1:17. Another friend of NSRP, Pat Hamilton (Dan's dad) finished the race in 3:07:46. Congratulations, Pat!

As he mentioned in his comment on last week's results, Dan Chebot ran the 5000m at Rochester's mid-week make-up meet, finishing in 15:46.05.

Chris Barnicle
competed in the College Championship 5000m at the Penn Relays Thursday night, running 14:16.45 to place 16th.

(At least two Mass. teams competed at Penn in Friday's relay action. In the Boys Distance Medley Championship of America, Brookline's quartet of Robert Gibson, Ian Sandler, Ryan Hardiman, and David Wilson placed 13th in 10:41.85. In the Girls 4x800 CoA race, Lincoln-Sudbury (Emily Mephan, Molly Binder, Claire Arthur, and Ellie Hylton) ran 9:11.03 to place 11th.

Several alumni competed at the NESCAC championships on Saturday. Wesleyan's Steph O'Brien ran 2:19.74 in the 800m to place 7th. Williams senior Liz Gleason finished 10th in the 10,000m, running 40:32.39. For the men, Doug Brecher ran 15:52.35 for the 5000m, placing 15th. Scott Cole placed 24th in the 1500m with a time of 4:16.96.

Two other Bay Staters had good results at the meet: Alexandra Krieg won the women's 5000m by half a minute, running 17:37.64, while Jerzy Eisenberg-Guyot placed 7th in the men's 10K, running 33:34.55.

Added 4/28:

At the Yale Springtime Invitational, David Smith competed in three throwing events, posting (what I believe are) two personal bests. In the discus, Smith threw 36.45 (119-7) for 12th. In the hammer, he threw 41.28 (135-5) for 9th, and in the shot he threw 14.55 (47-9) for 8th.

NESCACs were rough- it was high 70s on the track in Hamilton. Kreig lead from the start of the 5k, and looked smooth. In the men's 5k, the race was tactical, and Doug led for the first 2 miles, which obviously isn't ideal. The men's 10k from the start separated into 2 tactical packs, both of which were slow (the front 5, and the next 3) with fast last miles.

Polgar ran 3:58.3 for the 1500 at Brown today. Good to see he's back to high school form, and hopefully we'll see a 3:55 or better by season's end.

I don't know if folks have checked out the Flocast (or if it was even on Flocast), but Brookline definitely was in the mix to win - the winning time was pretty slow. However, they were involved in a tangle on the first leg and essentially out of it only a few minutes in. Pretty crummy if you ask me.

2nd, and this is not to be taken as fact, but I've heard that Dana Jamison has left the team.

Robert Gibson gets tripped up at about 350m and loses at least 12-15 seconds. very unfortunate!
