Results are trickling in from early-season college meets as summer's runners begin tuning up for the fall racing to come.
I knew that Johns Hopkins always competes in the Baltimore Metro Invitational, and it was good to see Noah Jampol in the results, running 16:40 for 5K to finish 9th. Newton South and NSRP alum (and JHU freshman) Sasha Long was not far back, running 16:56.
Northeastern University opened its XC season on Friday at the Bryant XC Invitational hosted by Bryant University. In what I assume was a training effort, Seb Putzeys ran 17:33 for 5K in the men's race.
Ben Finch, late of Waban and Newton South and now a freshman at Carnegie Mellon, ran his first collegiate XC race on Saturday. CM competed at the "Duquesne Duals," an 8K race where results are calculated based on dual meet scores between each pair of teams. Ben ran a solid 28:23, which placed him third for his team.
Mike Burnstein has transferred to Washington University of St. Louis this year, and ran his first race for the Bears, finishing 6th at the Big River Running Early Bird meet, running 19:55 for 6K (5:21 pace).
Still waiting on the much-anticipated results from Bates College alumni meet...

There's no way to not sound like a self-promoter with this comment, but I'm just doing to leave it here anyways --

Congratulations, Sam! That must have been quite a lean :-) ...and a sign of good things to come.
Thanks for the mention, Jon. Ran pretty tactically - I waited a while and passed about 6 guys(1 guy returned the favor) on the last downhill from .5 to .25 and then was pretty gassed. It was 85 out. Things should become a lot easier later on in the season for a myriad of reasons. By the way, I'll be back the weekend of the 17'th and I'll contact you about running together. I'm highly looking forward to it.
