Robinson, Brecher Win Events at Jim Sheehan Meet

Newton North alums won the longest and the shortest events on the track at the Jim Sheehan Memorial meet, held at Fitchburg State College on Saturday.

Wheaton College sophomore Cailean Robinson had a great day, winning the 100m (10.94), the 200m (21.59), and blazing a leg on the winning 4x100 relay (41.12).

In the 10000m, Bates senior Doug Brecher crushed the field, running 32:39.97 to win by over a minute. Teammate Ben Chebot finished 12th in 36:40.79.

The ageless Dave Cahill ran the 800 in 2:03.37.

Meanwhile, Northeastern competed at the UNH Wildcat Invitational in Durham NH on Saturday and NN alums produced a pair of strong performances in the metric mile. Seb Putzeys ran a very solid 4:02.67 to take 2nd in the mens 1500, and Jess Barton finished 6th in the women's 1500 in 4:45.45.
