NNHS Alumni Results - 5/02/09

Two former NN sprinters were in action at the New England Division III Outdoor Championships at Springfield College this weekend. Cailean Robinson ran 10.73 (3.6m tailwind) in the semis of the 100m dash, and then 11.04 to take 3rd in the finals. Former teammate Hymlaire Lamisere ran 11.41 in the semis.

At the New York State Championships held at St. Lawrence University, Rochester senior Dan Chebot placed 5th in the 10,000, running a season's best time of 32:04.53.

At the Payton Jordan / Cardinal Invitational at Stanford University, Chris Barnicle set a personal best of 28:53.20, placing 10th in the second section of the 10000m.

In addition to Barnicle, who is competing for New Mexico, there were several other former Massachusetts distance stars in attendance at the Cardinal Invite:

Jonathon Riley (Brookline/Stanford/Nike) ran 13:33.47 in the seeded heat of the 5000.

Ryan Collins (Mansfield/Virginia) ran 13:55.94, and Victor Gras (Belmont/Michigan/Texas) ran 14:08.97.

Sean Quigley (Arch. Williams/LaSalle/Puma) ran, but did not finish, the 10000, and Matt Clark (Barnstable/NC State/McMillan) ran but did not finish the 5k.

Speaking of Victor Gras and Texas, amazingly, Gras has this year and another year of eligibility in outdoor track, making him only a junior in the eyes of the NCAA. He is teammates with Brookline's Rob Gibson, who was also in action this weekend, winning his first 3,000-meter steeplechase in a personal-best time of 9:40.66 at the Texas Invite.
