Boston University is hosting the two-day Valentine's Invitational this weekend, with most women's events Friday (yesterday) and most men's events Saturday (today).
This meet has some of the deepest fields in the distance races that you'll find anywhere. Yesterday 18 women broke 5:00 for the mile, 8 women ran under 2:11 for the 800, 20 ran under 10:00 for the 3K (led by Ireland's Mary Cullen running a solo 8:43), 22 ran under 18:00 for 5K, and so on.
Today the men have a go, and the fields include quite a few Newton and Bay State alumni. Cailean Robinson is entered in the 200, Noah Jampol will be running the mile (seeded 122nd out of 210!), Jerzy Eisenberg-Guyot will be running the 3k (only 192 entries there...), and there could be an epic Bay State battle in the 5K with Mike Burnstein, Dan Chebot, and Doug Brecher.
