Brookline Wins Manchester Invite Elite Race

My Bay State readers should be interested in this.

On Saturday, Brookline H.S. won the Elite race at the prestigious Manchester (NH) Invitational meet. The course is notoriously hard, and running under 17 minutes there is difficult even in ideal conditions. Saturday was way too hot to be considered ideal, but the Brookline lads had three runners under 16:40. Very impressive!

Here are the times and places for Brookline's top six:

   3    3 2010 Chernet Sisay      Brookline                      11 16:15  5:15 
9 9 2011 Romey Sklar Brookline 12 16:32 5:20
11 11 2006 Mark Perry Brookline 11 16:36 5:22
29 29 2003 Matt Goroff Brookline 11 17:28 5:38
37 37 2014 Tharindu Weersingh Brookline 11 17:46 5:44
69 68 2005 Aaron Klein Brookline 10 19:19 6:14

Thanks for the recognition. Great day for the Warriors. To win without Sampson in a field like this was a big win. The field while having some great programs like Hendricken, 2009 NE and NXN NE champs, didn't seem as great as year's past. In 2006 Brookline competed at Manchester finishing 6th in the Elite race with Gibson at 16:11, Burnstein 16:46, Lehane 16:47, Jerzy 17:05 and Stewart 17:41. We'll take the win.

Hope CA is having a good season. Would love to see some news on the program on the blog.
