It was a busy weekend, with at least four college/open meets in the Boston area on Saturday.
Bowdoin freshman Michele Kaufman won the 55 hurdles in 8.87 and finished 3rd in the long jump with a leap of 4.77m (15-7.5) at the Reggie Poyau Memorial Track Meet, hosted by Brandeis in Waltham.
At the Harvard Invitational, Northeastern's Seb Putzeys had a blazing time in the 1000m, finishing 4th in 2:31.73. At the same meet, NNHS alum John Blouin ran the mile in 4:47.64.
Over at MIT, Bates senior Doug Brecher placed 4th in the 3000m in a solid 8:57.72, less than a second behind teammate and Newton South alum Andrew Wortham who finished 3rd in 8:56.93. The MIT track is flat and rock-hard, so those are very decent times. I feel a little sorry for Ben Chebot, who ran the 5000 (25 laps!), finishing 10th in 17:13.32.
There was also a meet at Tufts, but I didn't spy any NNHS alums in the results.
Farther south, URI hosted the Sorlein Men T&F Invitational. UMass-Dartmouth sophomore Hymlaire Lamisere ran 6.69 in the heats, and 6.77 in the finals to place 5th in the 55m dash. Lamisere also placed 11th in the 200m with a time of 23.98. In the field events, Lamisere jumped 20-8 to place 8th in the long jump, but he trailed former NNHS teammate and Wheaton sophomore Cailean Robinson, who placed 2nd with a big mark of 6.78m (22-03.00).

Michele is spelled with one L
Ok, see, I know that Michele Kaufman spells her name with one "l", but my fingers always type "ll" even when my mind is saying "don't forget to spell it with one "l" this time..."
So, I apologize for all the times I have misspelled her name in the past -- and I'll probably do it again, so sorry for all those future transgressions.
Jon,
No NN-Brookline preview????
You asked for it...
