ignoring my terrible race, if you're looking to add to your list of Bay State alums still competing my teammate Brian Cronin had a bit of a breakthrough and ran 1:57. Brian was a graduate of Weymouth High in 1998 and was part of their outdoor state meet record team that ran 7:54 (since broken). Coach Blackburn can probably add that Brian and Aaron Schwirian (along with Weymouth's other 800 runner Greg Zopatti) had quite a few battles in 1998, with Schwirian usually getting the upper hand at the end. Brian's PR at UMass was 1:52-1:53ish I believe.
Loooks like The David(Polgar) is getting back to his old self. That 10:04.86 has a familiar ring to it(the exact time his NN team did @ Penn). Was his leadoff time better than the 3:06 he did then? Anyway great to see David and Chris(nice race in Ireland) returning to form.
I hope you feel better soon, coach.
Broad Street Run is May 3rd
