NNHS Alumni Results 4/16/10 - 4/17/10

Running his first big outdoor race of the spring, NNHS alum Chris Barnicle had another solid personal best in the 5000m on Friday, running 13:36.02 to finish with the middle of the pack in the fast heat of the 5K at the Mt. Sac Invitational.

In New England, the wet and cold weather wasn't particularly conducive to running blazing times. At the Solomon Invitational in Dedham, Northeastern sophomore Jess Barton ran a solo 11:17.53 in the 3000m steeplechase. At the same meet, Dave Polgar and Seb Putzeys renewed their inadvertent indoor rivalry, this time in the 1500. Dave edged Seb for NNHS alumni bragging rights, running 4:02.64 for 3rd just ahead of Seb's 4:03.24 in 4th.

At the State of Maine Championships, Bates sophomore Ben Chebot ventured into the water, so to speak, placing 6th in the steeplechase in 10:23.53. At the same meet, Bates senior and soon-to-be responsible citizen Doug Brecher placed 6th in the 5000m, running 15:23.12.

Johns Hopkins senior Noah Jampol doubled in the 1500 and 800 at the Widener Invitational over the weekend, running 4:20.40 and 2:09.31, respectively.

At the Springfield Invitational, Cailean Robinson placed 3rd in the 100m in 10.90, and ran a leg on Wheaton College's winning 4x100 relay team, which recorded an NCAA provisional mark of 41.37.

Chris came through 3 miles in 12:58 (13:25 5k pace). He's in sub 28 10k shape which is just amazing.

From a text message from Chris "I was on sub-13:30 pace until the last 150m."

That's leaving it all on the track! I can't wait to watch the 10k effort live in the Bay Area.

He ran 13:36. What happened? to go from 12:58 to 13:36?
