On Friday and Saturday Boston University hosted the Terrier Invitational, and as it always does, the meet served up heat after heat of really fast folks running season's best times.
In the mile, Providence's David McCarthy scared the collegiate record, running 3:55.75 to finish ahead of Mass. native and former BC star Tim Ritchie, who also broke 4:00 with a 3:58.49.
I counted four Newton North alumni in the meet, although I might have missed some. There were also a slew of former Brookline H.S. distance runnners, and several friends of NSRP competing.
In Saturday morning's unseeded 5000, Bates senior Ben Chebot ran what I believe is a personal best 15:14.59, finishing 4th in the second of 4 sections.
Hymlaire Lamisere competed in both the 60m and 200m dashes. Hymlaire ran 7.27 in the short sprint, and then won his heat of the 200 in 22.93.
Respectable citizen and certified adult Dave Cahill continued his quest to get back under 52 seconds for the 400, running a very respectable 52.42 to place 2nd in his heat.
MIT's Jared Forman had a nifty time in the 800, clocking 1:57.61 to place 2nd in section 8.
I mentioned the Brookline distance crew. Rob Gibson ran 14:14.85 in the seeded section of the 5000m, and I believe that's a personal best for him. In an unseeded heat, Jerzy Eisenberg-Guyot ran 16:09.81. In the 3000m, Christian Sampson ran 8:50.50, and Chris Mercurio ran 9:00.70.
Also in the 3K, friends of NSRP Paul Norton ran 8:40.83, and Andrew Wortham ran 8:44.23.

fast times all over the place yesterday. obviously the mile where tim ritchie ran amazing and then he came back later and ran 8:05 in the 3k fading late. the 3k was another fast race and those are typically fast at these meets, but there was a fast 800 1:48s and a really fast 200 which were exciting to watch as well
Saw Jerzy limping/hobbling the last mile of his race, didn't get to talk to him but I hope he's okay.
