The annual Paddy's Pub Shillelagh Shuffle 3M Road Race took over my neighborhood in Newton for a couple of hours on Sunday. I was driving home from a race elsewhere, and was two blocks from home when I reached a police barricade and had to turn back. Ironic.
Anyway, NNHS Asst. Coach Shawn Wallace had a good day, finishing 7th overall in 15:46, but more importantly staying ahead (for the moment) of NNHS junior Justin Keefe, who was 11th in 16:04. I realize neither one of these two are actually NNHS alumni... In fact, girls Asst. Coach Brandon Mogayzel isn't either (he's a Dennis-Yarmouth alum), but he was also in the results, finishing 28th in 17:15. Looking down the list, the first true NNHS alumus was Tim Killilea, who finished in 19:09, the 3M race being about 23.2 miles shorter than his favorite distance.
And speaking of marathons, David Robb (brother of Dan and Brian) ran a huge personal best at the Bay State Marathon in Lowell on Sunday. After running Boston last year, Davy finished 263d out of ~1600 in a time of 3:17:39.
In college news, NNHS alum and recent (2009) Univ of Rochester grad Dan Chebot returned to Western New York to compete at the Yellowjacket Invitational. He acquitted himself well, finishing 27th overall in a very solid time of 26:46.
