Several NNHS students, alumni, and coaches (or former coaches) were in attendance at the third and final BU Mini-meet, and there were some impressive times in the middle distances.
NNHS performance of the week once again goes to North senior Jess Barton, who ran a huge PR of 5:00.27 for the mile, and then doubled back in the 800m an hour and a half later, running 2:24.34.
Seb Putzys also doubled, although it was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision. After running the mile in 4:40.95, Seb and the boys went out for a 25-minute cooldown run. When he got back and realized the 800 hadn't started yet, Seb signed himself up and proceeded to dominate his heat, running 2:06.18 with a devastating last lap kick.
The mile was definitely the event for seeing NNHS and Bay State runners and alumni. North alum Tom Davis ran in the fast heat and ran 4:26 after having taken several weeks off from training earlier this season. (Meet results have Tom at 4:38 something, but that is incorrect). Tom would later run a 1600 leg in the 4x1600 relay.
Noah Jampol won his heat of the mile in 4:34.27, beating his former coach, yours truly (4:40.24), and two former teammates, Putzys and Dan Chebot (4:57.03). Noah ran comfortably in second place until just under two laps to go and then exploded into the lead, running his last 400 in 65 seconds. Another alum, John Blouin, now running for the GBTC ran 4:46.73.
Other Bay Staters includes two of Brookline's top runners who haven't been seen in league meets yet this season. Elliot Lehane ran 4:33.65, while Mike Burnstein ventured onto the track for the first time since spraining his ankle (?) several weeks ago, and ran a very creditable 4:51.16.
In the sprints, North alum Dave Cahill (GBTC) won his heat of the 400 in 51.26, and then anchored the GBTC 4 x 400 relay team.
