College Results - Liz Gleason 17:11 for 5K!

NNHS Class of 2004's Liz Gleason, now a sophomore at Williams College, ran a personal best 17:11.38 for 5K to finish 2nd overall at the New England Championships at Boston University on Saturday, 2/25. Competing against Div I and Div II schools, Gleason came just 0.15 from winning the 5K outright. Her time is a provisional qualifying mark for Div III nationals, and just outside the automatic qualifying time.

Dan Chebot ran 9:02.75 for 3000m (a mere two seconds off his PR) at the New York State Championships on Saturday.

On Saturday, Chris Barnicle ran 8:16 for 3000m at the SEC Indoor Champinships. On Sunday, he came back to anchor the Arkansas distance medley team that finished second. Although he has run faster this season (he ran 8:10 earlier in the season), Chris was perhaps a little bit fatigued after running 24:03 for 8K XC six days earlier.

Matt Frankel threw the shot for Brown . . . and fouled all three throws (he could have scored if he had approached 50 feet). Jon Wofsy I've been told continues to be injured.

Yeah I think he got into Amherst, anyway

Does anyone happen to know what Chris's time was for his anchor leg (1600m I believe) in the DMR??

Although he was listed in the results as running the 1600 in the DMR, Said Ahmed ran the anchor leg.

According to hogwired.com, Chris did not run in the DMR.
