Sorry for the delay in posting. Too busy chopping ice, shoveling snow and writing about a pathetic Giants' loss! Click here to see what I had to say about it ...
Anyway. The splits. In the order they were scribbled in my handy-dandy notebook and the order in which they were run ...
Mile run
Adam Vess. 4:10.11. School record. IC4A qualifier.
32 (209 meters, long split), 65 (33), 1:35 (30), 2:06 (31), 2:36 (30), 3:07 (31), 3:38 (31), 4:10.11 (32.11). Comment: Silly slow start by the field, Adam reacted nicely but didn't close as strongly as usual. Not bad for Jan. 9.
Will Griffin. 4:24.93.
33 (long split), 66 (33), 1:38 (32), 2:10 (32), 2:43 (33), 3:17 (34), 3:51 (34), 4:24.93 (33.93). Comment: Kind of a blah race. Will said he was overly nervous beforehand; his first Armory experience. It'll get better.
Tom Lipari. 4:25.10. Personal-best time.
33.5 (long split), 67.3 (34.8), 1:40.4 (33.1), 2:14.2 (33.8), 2:47.9 (33.7), 3:21.7 (33.8), 3:54.4 (32.7), 4:25.10 (30.70). Comment: A nicely-done PR and wicked neg split. Many of you may be familiar with Tom's famous sister Emily (one of the best girl hs runners in the country). Well, Tommy's got some wheels too, and he showed them off on Friday.
800-meter run
Kyle Havard. 2:02.19.
29.5, 59.0 (29.5), 1:30.0 (31.0), 2:02.19 (32.19). Comment: Blah. Not a great start, but it will get better.
Ryan Brown. 2:06.52.
30, 62 (32), 1:33 (31), 2:06.52 (33.52). Comment: Solid personal-best time and excellent effort in an out-of-event race.
Greg Masto. 2:12.32.
30, 62 (32), 1:36 (34), 2:12.32 (36.32). Comment: Back to the drawing board!
Sprint medley relay: Quick comment about this. This is a rarely run relay and Coach Terry Horton had some fun putting his sprint crew through two SMRs for the early-season work. The SMR was run 200-200-400-800. The first relay exchange was absolutely crazy!
SMR A, 3:43.70: Mike Cocca 23.6, Colin Frederickson 23.7, John Kristie 53.3, Brian McCormick 2:02.8 (29, 61, 1:31).
SMR B, 3:49.32: Mike McCloskey 24.3, James Boylan 25.1, Neal Viets 55.7, Greg Dubois 2:04.2 (sorry no splits available).
Distance medley relay
DMR A, 10:52.40.
Matt Janczyk 3:11.6. 32, 64 (32), 1:37 (33), 2:10 (33), 2:41 (31), 3:11.6 (30.6)
John Kristie 55.9
Greg Masto 2:11.0. 29, 61 (32), 1:35 (34), 2:11.0 (36.0).
Sam McMullen 4:33.8. 32, 66 (34), 1:40 (34), 2:15 (35), 2:51 (36), 3:27 (36), 4:02 (35), 4:33.8 (31.8).
DMR B, 11:03.78.
Kris Geist 3:23.4. 33, 66 (33), 1:38 (32), 2:13 (35), 2:46 (33), 3:23.4 (37.4)
Neal Viets 57.2
Ryan Brown 2:07.7. 31, 62 (31), 1:34 (32), 2:07.7 (33.7)
Curtis Jensen 4:35.7. 29, 59 (30), 1:33 (34), 2:09 (36), 2:46 (37), 3:23 (37), 4:00 (37), 4:35.7 (35.7).
3,000-meter run
Matt Flint 8:44.91.
37, 70 (33), 1:45 (35), 2:19 (34), 2:55 (36), 3:31 (36), 4:07 (36), 4:40 (33), 5:16 (36), 5:54 (38), 6:30 (36), 7:05 (35), 7:39 (34), 8:14 (34), 8:44.91 (30.91). 1k: 2:55; 2k: 5:54 (2:59); 3k: 8:44.91 (2:50.91). Comment: Nice kick! As you can see (and will see), it seemed like the whole race field was shaking off the rust and didn't really know how to race. Fast. Slow. Fast again. Then see who can finish strong. Most didn't. Flint did, as the Armory sound system blared out "Eye of the Tiger." If it was 1982, when that song was relevant, such a scene would have given me chills. In 2009, it's just cheesy.
Joe McElhoney 9:01.94.
38, 71 (33), 1:45 (36), 2:18 (33), 2:55 (37), 3:31 (36), 4:07 (36), 4:41 (34), 5:14 (37), 5:49 (35), 6:25 (36), 7:03 (38), 7:43 (40), 8:22 (39), 9:01.94 (39.94). 1k: 2:55; 2k: 5:49 (2:54); 3k: 9:01.94 (3:12.94). Comment: One of JoeMac's favorite sayings is "shit show" and these splits can certainly be described as such! He was all over the place. However, if you WATCHED the race, there were far more positives than negatives here. JoeMac faded badly at the end of xc, which we now know was due to a severe iron deficiency. His mid-race surge to the lead here proves that he's got the giddyup back in his legs. His final death march 1k proves that maybe that move wasn't so smart. But I have faith that we'll see some faster times later this winter and spring.
3,200-meter relay (4x800)

Adam Vess 1:55.4. 27, 56 (29), 1:25 (29), 1:55.4 (30.4)
Will Griffin 1:59.4. 27, 57 (30), 1:28 (31), 1:59.4 (31.4)
