On Saturday, several NNHS alumni competed at the NESCAC championships hosted by Connecticut College.
The unseasonably warm temperatures affected the distance races, but Doug Brecher managed a strong showing in the 10000, finish 7th in 32:53.12, a few second behind Brookline alum Jerzy Eisenberg-Guyot in 6th (32:49.91).
Wesleyan senior Anna Schindler ran the 5k, and finished 11th in 19:03.17.
Scott Cole competed in the 800m, running 2:01.39.
And this just in from the Drake relays...
"Freshmen Jonathan Meminger and Stephen Geloneck, sophomore Brian Hilland, and senior Jon Wofsy combined to run Harvard’s best time of the season in the sprint medley relay. Wofsy ran a 47.5 split in the 400 meter leg of the race as the Crimson clocked in at 3:30.67." (reported by Catherine Farrell)

The temperature down in New London on Saturday probably didn't get much higher than 70ish, and when they ran the 10k at 9AM it was probably around 60 and a little overcast, so the weather was great. The race went out fairly slow, though - the lead pack went through in around 16:40, I think. Doug said that his back had been bothering him for a few weeks, though, and that that had effected him during the race. He was actually quite a bit farther back going into the last lap and unleashed quite a kick to make up a lot of ground.
Yeah, the race went out in around 85 for the first lap, and every so often someone would through in 75 second lap and then slow back down to 80. There were tons of surges. They went through the 5k in 16:40ish and didn't pick it up until the 4 mile mark when the pack split up. The winner ran the last 2 miles in 9:25ish!
Sam Miller formerly of Needham, now running for Middlebury was in the race too and finished in 10th place running 32:56 for his first 10k on the track.
