Northeastern sophomore Jess Barton had a big weekend at the CAA Championships, held in Towson, Maryland Friday and Saturday. On Friday, Barton placed 7th in the 5000m in a personal best 17:00.81, a time that qualifies her for the ECAC meet and ranks her third on NU's all-time list. Then on Saturday, Barton placed 2nd in the 3000m steeplechase, running 10:55.83, only 5 seconds away from an NCAA qualifying time.
At the Little Three (Amherst, Wesleyan, Williams) Championships, Wesleyan senior Scott Cole had a great middle distance double, running 2:00.54 to place 15th in the 800m, and 4:14.68 to place 8th in the 1500m. I believe both times are personal bests for Scott (not so sure about the 1500m...). At the same meet, Anna Schindler placed 8th in the women's 5000m, running 19:28.24.
At the Connecticut Spring Invitational, David Polgar placed 7th in the 1500m, running 4:00.34.
It couldn't possibly live up to Newton North vs. Brookline, but at the annual Harvard-Yale dual meet Adam Bao and David Smith helped Yale trounce the Crimson 105-54. Bao won the triple jump with a leap of 12.88 (42-3.25) into a 1.7m/s wind. Smith placed 3rd in the shot put with a heave of 14.75 (48-4.75), and 5th in the discus with a throw of 42.58 (139-8).
Chris Barnicle ran 14:00.16 for 5000m in the Olympic Development section at the Mt. Sac Relays on Saturday. How deep was the race? That time placed Chris only 15th -- and it wasn't even the invitational section. All-in-all, an astonishing 49 men ran under 14:00 at the meet.
