I apologize for being off the grid for the last week. The combination of full-time work, part-time coaching, family-related travel, and racing two USATF-NE championship races brought my writing to a standstill. However, I have begun to breathe again and hope to have a few more cycles for keeping the blog up to date.
It's still early days in the collegiate XC campaign, but nevertheless, some interesting results to report:
For the second week in a row, Doug Brecher was the winner in a cross-country meet, as he took first in a dual meet against Bowdoin on Saturday, running the 5M course at Pineland Farms in 26:21. Doug worked hard this summer, and the good results so far are well-earned.
Daniel Hamilton (NNHS '09) placed 43rd at the Univ of Buffalo Stampede on Saturday, running 27:32 for the 5M course.
Boston University was in action on Sunday, hosting the BU Invitational at Franklin Park. Competing in his first race of the year, David Polgar finished 35th in 26:26 over Franklin Park's more or less 8K course.
UMass-Dartmouth hosted the UMass Dartmouth Shriners Cross Country Invitational on Saturday, with several friends of NSRP doing well. Paul Norton (Brandeis) finished 3rd overall in an impressive 24:43. Teammate Sam Donovan ran 26:07 to place 48th overall in the competitive field. James Vance (Johnson & Wales), who was last seen training in Vibram's "five fingers" minimalist footwear, finished 61st in 26:17. Will Cha (Trinity) was 97th in 27:03. Igal Bubar (UMass-Boston) ran 28:56. Did I miss anyone?

I don't think he's been to the running group, but Matt Weaver (NS '08/MIT) took 17th in the sub-v race in 26:50
Was concerned where the blog was. I was almost going to reach out to see if anyone knew if everything was OK.
Good luck with CA XC.
Not a NSRP guy but former bSC standout Ryan Hardiman won the Honan 5K on Sunday 9/21 in Brighton over former Mass. HS State champ Tristan Colangelo in 15:52.
Thanks, Mike.
Ryan did attend NSRP, I think two times this summer. I wish it had been more, as I didn't get much time to talk to him. I hope he's doing well.
CAXC first meet is on Wednesday. We're very excited!
