Some of the usual suspects were in action this weekend as the indoor season heads into its final weeks.
Boston University hosted the New England College Track & Field Championships on Friday and Saturday, with several NNHS alumni competing. Wheaton's Cailean Robinson continued his outstanding indoor season, running 6.44 to place 5th in the 55 dash. In the mile, David Polgar ran 4:16.18, which is -- if I'm not mistaken -- his lifetime best.
In the 5000 it was another battle between Doug Brecher and Brookline alum Mike Burnstein. Doug ran 15:15.57, which is not bad, but Mike ran a personal best 14:53, which is tremendous!
I didn't see Seb Putzeys' name in any individual results, but his name does appear as the third leg (800m) on Northeastern's distance medley team, which ran 10:30.93.
Dan Chebot pulled off an impressive double at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference Championships , hosted Friday and Saturday at Rochester Institute of Technology. Dan finished second overall in the 5000m with a time of 15:17.24, and fifth in the 3000m, running 8:50.12. Dan has qualified for the ECAC championships in both events.

Maybe Cailean will find a home in the 400 after splitting 49.1 in his second time out. His 1st time was 51.1, so at that rate 4 more races and he'll have the world's record. His 6.41 isn't too shabby either--school record. ..Nice job by The David, Dan, and Doug, also.
I just wanted to let people know that Doug and myself will be having a showdown over the 3000m distance this Saturday at ECACs. It should be a good race, but I expect the outcome to be similar if not identical to that of the Valentine Invitational 5000m. Our seed times are nearly identical so we should end up in the same heat.
I know this is off topic, but is there a place to find the top all-time US indoor track high school times? DyeStat always mentions so-and-so are #__ All-Time, but doesn't have a list.
What you want is Jack Shephard's annual edition of High School Track. It is a compendium of the top times from the previous year and all-time, indoor and outdoor.
