The Boston University Terrier Classic took place this weekend, and as usual produced some outstanding performances.
In the 55 dash, Cailean Robinson (Wheaton College) blazed a personal best 6.50 in his qualifying heat, and then ran 6.59 to finish 7th in the finals. NNHS alum and historian extraordinaire Josh Seeherman (GBTC) ran 2:01.75 in the 800. Teammate Dave Cahill ran 51.05 in the 400, a time that might have won the event at the BU mini-meet, but placed him 38th here.
In the throws, David Smith put the shot 13.52m (44-04.25) , and threw the weight 14.18m (46-06.25), which is (I think) a personal best in that event.
On Saturday, Brandeis hosted the 2009 Reggie Poyau Invitational in Waltham, and in the 3000m, Doug Brecher ran a season's best 8:58.12 to finish 7th. He then doubled back to anchor (yes, anchor!) the Bates 4x800 team, which ran 8:33.52. In that same meet Newton South alum Sam Donovan had quite a day, winning the mile in a PR 4:22.49 with a dramatic kick, and then anchoring the winning 4x800 team.
At the St. Lawrence Invitational Saturday, Dan Chebot dropped down from his usual 3k/5k races to run the 1000, finishing 7th in 2:42.39. Dan also ran the 1600 for Rochester in the DMR (11:02).
At Wesleyan's Cardinal Invitational (I) this weekend, Scott Cole ran the mile, finishing in 4:41.78.
Seb Putzeys ran 1:59.91 for the 800 on Friday, as Northeastern competed in the Great Dane Classic at the NYC Armory.

is 8:58 a PR for Doug?
Hey some good Barnie news, Seb saw this first, but Chris was interviewed on flotrack: http://www.flotrack.org/videos/coverage/view_video/234490/128150-chris-barnicle
Sounds like he did some good pacing too.
