NNHS Alumni Results - 2/26/11

On Friday and Saturday pf last week Boston University hosted the NEICAAA indoor track championships, aka the Open New Englands. At least three NN alumni competed, and although I am tardy posting their results, they are too good to ignore.

Jess Barton is running as well as she ever has, and won the women's 3000m in 9:44 (converts to a 10:27 two-mile!). Congratulations, Jess!

In the men's mile, Seb Putzeys ran 4:17.04 to place 12th. It's great to see Seb running well, and that's got to be pretty close to his personal best for the mile.

Bowdoin's Michele Kaufman ran 9.01 in the semis to earn the final qualifying spot in the nine-person finals, where she placed 8th in 9.07.




On Saturday and Sunday, the Heptagonals (the Ivy League Championships) were held at the Armory in New York. In the shot put, Yale senior David Smith threw 4.97m (49-1.5) to place 10th. Smith also competed in the weight throw with an almost identical result, a best mark of 15.06m (49-05.00) and a 10th-place finish.
