Let's catch up on the exploits of Newton North alumni.
Liz Gleason ran a PR 18:26 for 5K to place 5th overall for Williams at the Little Three Championships held in Williamstown, Mass. on October 22. Williams won the team title easily over Amherst and Wesleyan. Liz has solidified her position as the 3rd runner for the defending NCAA Div III National Champions. Other local runners in the same race included Newton South alumna Caitlin McDermott-Murphy (Amherst), Norwood H.S. alumna Lisa Davenport (Williams), and former Danvers H.S. standout Heather Wilson.
Scott Cole is at Skidmore College in upstate New York where he has been taking a break from competitive bike racing to run as an unattached competitor at area road and XC races (Skidmore does not have a cross-country or trcak team). On Oct 16, Scott set a PR 17:55 for 5K XC at the Saratoga National Bank Cross Country Classic, finishing 20th overall and 2nd in his age group. In that race, Scott hung out with 2004 Footlocker finalists Nicole Blood and Caitlin Lane for a while before chivalry took over and he let them go first. On Saturday Oct 22 Scott took to the roads, running another PR 17:31 at the Great Pumpkin Challenge 5K in Saratoga, NY.
Dan Chebot was 21st at the 2005 Yellowjacket Cross Country Invitational hosted by the University of Rochester on Oct. 15th. Dan ran 27:23 for 8K and was fifth man for his team.
Earlham College senior Joni Waldron ran a season's best 21:33 for 5K to finish 38th overall and third for her team at the Wilmington College Fall Classic on Oct. 14th.
Jason Abbott-Dalamora ('03) ran 31:42 for 8K at Van Cortland Park while competing for University of New Haven in the NYCAC Championship meet.
Kat Chiong notes that Azuree Catledge ('05) is running XC for Howard University. I found one result on Howard's web site but I'm not sure if there have been any recent races for Azuree.
Univ. of Arkansas freshman Chris Barnicle suffered a minor setback on Oct. 15th when a foot injury forced him to drop out of the 10K XC race at the Chile Pepper Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
It was good to see Brandeis teammates Clayton Lloyd (NNHS '05) and Tim Condon (Weymouth H.S. '04) at the Weymouth-Newton North dual meet on Oct. 18th. We will assume that Clay enjoyed the run home more than Tim.
Do you know of any other NNHS alumni making news in the running world? Please leave a comment and a link to results.

- From Scott's race
Wouldn't it be great if John Waldron trained really hard, and took down the 3000 meter record formerly held by Jon Waldron
