Fab freshmen at the Armory

Just back from the season-opener at the Armory. Freshmen distance runners provided many of the highlights:

-- Adam Vess got 2nd in the mile, lowering his SR and IC mark to a sterling 4:10.11.
-- Tom Lipari PRed in the mile in a solid 4:25.10. Will Griffin ran 4:24.93, not a PR but a solid first run at the Armory, where he never raced in hs.
-- Matt Flint, who never ran an indoor track race in hs as he cross country skied for Queensbury, won the 3k in 8:44.91. A nice start, I would say!
-- The all-freshman 4x8 of Kyle Havard (2:04.6), Lipari (1:59.99), Vess (1:55.4), Griffin (1:59.4) won in 7:59.69. Not bad since all were doubling back.
-- Max Carow was 3rd in the PV in 4.10, just .05 off his SR in the event. Not bad for no practice!
-- Lost in the results shuffle was a sterling 1200-meter opening leg in one of our DMRs by Matt Janczyk. Janzo made a killer move with 400m to go and blitzed the field, handing off well in the lead in 3:11.6. Check out his boss splits: 32, 64 (32), 1:37 (33), 2:10 (33), 2:41 (31), 3:11.6 (30.6). Killer. I loved every second of it.

I'll update with splits from the meet later in the weekend or early next week.

We are back at the Armory next Friday for the NYU Gotham Cup. Hope to see you there.
