NNHS Alumni Results - 2/28/10

Smitty Blasts Through 15.24m Barrier!

Yale junior David Smith threw 15.29m (50-2) at the Heptagonals to break the 15.24m barrier in the shot put and place 8th. Smitty's PR 15.40 (50-6.25) came two weeks ago, but I missed it then. Smith also competed in the weight throw at Heps, placing 12th with a toss of 14.43m (47-04.25).

Brecher, Polgar Set Personal Bests at BU

There were some impressive performances from NNHS alumni at the New England Indoor championships at BU this weekend. On Friday, Doug Brecher ran a personal best 15:06.97 to take 14th in the 5000m. One spot and 1.5s ahead was his Bates teammate and Newton South alum Andrew Wortham, who ran 15:05.47.

On Saturday, David Polgar ran a three-second personal best in the mile, clocking 4:12.88 for 9th place overall.

Actually, the best finish for an NNHS alum came In the 55m dash where Wheaton's Cailean Robinson ran 6.44 in the preliminaries and 6.45 in the finals to place 5th. Hymlaire Lamisere also ran the 55, clocking 6.64 in the prelims, but not qualifying for the finals.
