More fast times at BU, as NNHS alumni and others shook off their post-Christmas, post-snowstorm blues, and ripped off some solid early season races.
I never seem to give the sprinters enough credit, so let's start with Cailean Robinson, who posted a 22.66 in the 200m, the 7th fastest time overall. Cailean said he thought about entering the 400m... he said his coach at Wheaton wants him to run on the 4x400 relay... but, well, when you're a 55m/60m kind of guy, the 400 always seems like an awfully long way.
Noah Jampol did his annual 3000/1M double, running a controlled 9:45 in his trainers, and coming back to run a controlled 4:40 in his spikes. In the same heat with Noah was Josh Seeherman, who ran 4:44.41.
It was good to see Brookline alum Robert Gibson, who looked very strong and seems to have recovered from a bout of mono he suffered this fall. At BU, he doubled in the 1M/800m, taking 2nd in the 1M in 4:18.11, and 3rd in the 800 in 1:59.16. Not bad for December with no speedwork yet.
It was also great to see Dan Robb (NNHS Class of 2002), who returned recently from two years teaching at a school in Tacna, Peru. Dan was there to watch a former Providence College teammate, but he (Dan) looked fit, and I could imagine him coming down out of the stands, borrowing a pair of spike, and dropping a 2:00 flat, just like old times.
