Late night at the Armory, the last Armory meet of the year for us. Didn't get home till about 1:30 a.m. Seems like we have lived there the past two months.
Big highlight on the track was Matt Janczyk's strong PR in the 1,000 and near IC4A qualifier of 2:30.45. He was disappointed not to have hit the standard (2:29.95), but that is a darn good PR and sets us up well for next week's DMR at IC4As, where he will lead off with a 3:04.3 1,200-meter split (take note of that, Janzo).
Big highlight (only highlight!) in the field was Max Carow's SR in the pole vault. It sounds silly, but it's amazing what a little bit of practice will do. Max and Justine (our women's vaulter) drove down to the Pole Vault Barn in Warwick for some practice earlier this week. That, combined with Max's hs coach being there, and voila! ... a school record.
Big highlights on and off the track were seeing "my boys" (alumni) there running and supporting. Mike Rolek and Kirk Dornton both ran the 5k, reppin' the new (Rolek) and old (Kirk) MART uniforms. Both ran very well given their current fitness levels. T-Dix and B-Dix were there, great to see them. The Salamone Brothers (Greg and Chris) showed up as well, major blasts from the past and it was great seeing them. Greg was sporting a scruffy beard and CCCP sweatshirt. Fantastic, great to see he has not changed his unique ways!
More on the team (splits, results) when I get a chance. Results should be up at armorytrack.com.

It's great that your vaulters are able to use the PV barn in Warwick. If they can get some of Coach St.'s help while they are there it must be like going to vaulters' heaven.
