NNHS Alumni Results and Gossip - 9/26/09

I wandered down to Franklin park yesterday, where several college and club teams competed in the annual Codfish Bowl XC meet. In the 8K men's race, NNHS alum and Bates senior captain Doug Brecher ran with the lead pack through the first mile, and finished 16th overall in 26:07. Although that is a Franklin Park PR for Doug, he wasn't overly impressed with his performance, and admitted to being tired from a month of 80-mile weeks.

I also chatted briefly with Seb Putzeys (Northeastern) and Jared Forman (MIT). Northeastern wasn't running, but Seb was taking in the action after a long run. MIT was competing, but Jared has been sidelined with shin splints during the early season. He hopes to be back in action within a couple of weeks.

South and West, Johns Hopkins senior Noah Jampol ran 28:41 at the York Invitational (York, PA), finishing 29th overall.

Still waiting to see results for University of Rochester from the Harry Anderson Men’s Cross Country Invitational, assuming Dan Hamilton ran for the Yellowjackets.
