Another Jr Nationals qualifier, too!

Most readers of this blog are followers of the Marist MEN'S track team, but here is some big WOMEN'S news from Friday's NB meet at the Armory.

Freshman Addie DiFrancesco qualified for the USA Junior Championships with her nearly 20-second PR in the 3,000 meters of 10:09.44. Coach Chuck could not be there for her race because of work, so I got to yell out her splits. It was a lot of fun, and she ran a great race. I'll type up the complete splits in a later post, but here are her 1k splits ...

1k: 3:22.4
2k: 6:47.1 (3:24.7)
3k: 10:09.44 (3:22.34)

Fantastic!

We now have two women (Addie and Kathryn Sheehan) and one man (Matt Flint) qualified for USA Juniors, which this year is being held in conjunction with USA Seniors (Nationals) at Hayward Field in Oregon.

Good stuff.
