The Olympics are over and cross-country has begun, so even though the weather feels like the dog days of August, here we go with our first NNHS alumni results of the Fall seaosn.
The Bates College site has a nice cross-country preview, in which Doug Brecher is given prominent ink and a photo. Here's what they had to say about Doug:
"'Doug Brecher should develop into on of the premier cross country runners in New England. He will be a threat to claim top spots at the state and NESCAC championships, and if he stays healthy he should have a chance to qualify individually for NCAAs,' Fereshetian said. Last year, Brecher finished 35th at the NCAA Division III New England Regional Championship with a time of 25:36.2 to earn All-New England honors."
Bates ran against Colby in a unique class-based format on Saturday, and won, but I haven't found individual results yet.
Saturday was a really steamy day for running on the East Coast, thanks to Hurricane Hanna. It must have been especially oppressive in Baltimore where Noah Jampol ran 16:18 for 5K at the Baltimore Metro Invitational. That time placed him 11th (out of 90 finishers) and fourth on the Johns Hopkins team.
Seb Putzeys ran his first race for Northeastern at the Central Connecticut Blue Devil Invitational, running 28:41 to place 17th (fourth for his team).
By the way, hearty congratulations to Brookline alum and Trinity freshman Mike Burnstein who ran and WON his first collegiate race, the Trinity College Invitational, running 16:21 for 5K. Jerzy Eisenberg-Guyot ran 17:00 to place 17th. UMass Lowell used the race as a tempo run, as Rex Radloff, Ruben Sanca, Greg Wilson, and two other teammates cruised the course in 16:48-16:50.

The Trinity course is actually officially 5.15-5.2k, so 150-200 meters long of 5k.
