Quick Mets report

Late night last night, after a long weekend in Boston. A few quick highlights:

-- Biggie was freshman Kathryn Sheehan winning the 3k in 10:14.63, which based on past years is a Jr National qualifier (10:15.00 has been the standard). She joins freshman Matt Flint, who presumably qualified with his 8:33 3k in Boston (8:40.00 has been the standard). USA Juniors is at Heyward Field, Oregon. We're pretty excited, pending the posting of qualifying standards ...
-- Joe McElhoney showed off some wheels with his 4:20 mile, just a few nights after a strong 5k in Boston. And JoeMac was ragged after working 16 hours of hard labor -- plowing, shoveling, de-icing on the farm he works for down in Putnam County. Solid stuff.
-- Freshman Curtis Jensen had a strong debut at 3k with an 8:50.
-- Junior sprinter Colin Frederickson continued his resurgence with a strong 400 and anchor of the 4x4, which went 3:26 despite missing Mike Cocca due to a stomach bug.

Another quick note: We will be at the Armory on Friday for the New Balance Collegiate meet. We will be running a men's and women's DMR. The men's DMR got in the championship sections, which will be around 6 p.m. or so. We also have a few individuals in the 3k earlier in the day: Girma and JoeMac, and freshman Addie DiFrancesco, all in the college sections. Hope to see some of you there. Nice to see Parenti, who showed up and hung out for several hours at Mets.

Mets splits to be posted at a later date. Thanks for reading.
