Chris Barnicle continued his breakthrough senior season, winning the 5000 at the Mountain West Conference Championship meet. His time of 14:18.20 set a stadium record, and if it seems a little slow, remember that the track at Albuquerque, NM is 5120 feet, and the NCAA says that's worth 24.4 seconds.
At the IC4A Championships, Yale's David Smith placed 25th in the shot put, throwing 15.11m (49-07.00).
The 2010 New Balance Twilight meets got underway last night at UMass Lowell. Dave Cahill was there, running 2:01.64 for 800m. in the 10,000, Dave Vona (representing the Albany Running Exchange), ran in the featured event, the 10,000m, placing 8th in 32:42.01. Is that Dave Vona (25) related to NNHS alum Dave Vona, who (as my loyal readers remind me) graduated in 1980 and would be about 48 now?
One of the more interesting results of last weekend comes from NNHS alum Jason Abbott-Dallamora, who participated in the Ragner Relay in New York State May 14-15. What that means is that he ran three separate legs of 8-12 miles over a 24-hour period, with approximately 8-10 hours rest between legs. Jason reports that his team won the "ultra" division (six runners cover ~180 miles) and finished 3rd overall against 12-person teams. Very impressive!

I ran the Broad Street Run in Philly (a 10-miler) with my friend in 1hr40min. It was her first time running over 6 miles, let alone 10!
Geoff Kent wrote in with several corrections to my post. The Dave Vona who ran in the 10K at Lowell is much younger (25) than the Dave Vona who graduated from NNHS in 1980. Are they related?
In any case, I've made the correction in my post.
