NNHS Alumni Results - 5/2/10

Catching up on some other (non-Barnicle) NNHS alumni results from last weekend.

Wheaton's Cailean Robinson finished 2nd in the 100m in the DIII New England Championships, running a blistering 10.78 in the finals, second only to his nemesis, Springfield's Steve Headley. In the 200m, Hymlaire Lamisere clocked 22.64 for the 12th fastest time of the day.

On the women's side, Bowdoin freshman Michele Kaufman placed 4th in the 100m hurdles, running 15.08 in the finals. Kaufman also competed in the long jump, leaping 16-3 for 16th overall.

At the CAA Championships hosted by George Mason University, Northeastern's Seb Putzeys ran a huge personal best 3:54.47 in the 1500m heats to qualify for the finals. That time converts to a 4:13.16 for the full mile. Wow! In the finals, Seb finished 11th in 4:02.36.

At the same meet, Jess Barton attempted a difficult double, running both the 5000m and the 3000m steeplechase. I'm guessing the heat and fatigue of doubling was a big factor, as she clocked 19:11.12 for the 5K and 12:08.15 for the steeple.

At the America East championships in Durham, N.H., David Polgar placed 15th in the 1500m, running 3:56.95. He also contributed a leg to BU's 4x800 team that ran 7:38.01. A big shout-out to BU's Brookline alums Robert Gibson, who won the 5000m in 14:48.55, and Elliot Lehane, who placed 3rd in the 10,000m in 31:20.88.

Noah Jampol wrote me last week to chronicle his long recovery from illness this spring. The Johns Hopkins senior ran the 1500m in his conference championships on Saturday, finishing in a very respectable 4:11.71. Maybe Noah will keep his season going with a run at one of the New Balance High Performance meets in Waltham this spring.
