Wrapping up Boston weekend

IC4As:

Girma Segni had a tough race in the 5km, a big disappointment for him. The race started ridiculously slow (40-second first lap!) then sped up. He was fine with the shifting gears for a while, but it blew up on him around 3km, and it was a long last 2km.

It was great to have so many qualifiers and participants at ICs, our largest contingent ever. Vess' win was memorable. Aside from that, we were hoping for better, but that's life.

ECACs:

Coach Chuck brought a DMR over to Reggie Lewis Center on Sunday and they ran well, their best time of the season. I cannot locate the official results but here are the splits as reported to me via cell at the meet. (By the way, my cell was dead on Sunday in case anyone was trying to call or text ...)

Sarah Keating, 1200: 3:45. She handed off in the middle of the pack and probably should have run a big more aggressively, according to Chuck.
Holly Burns, 400: 60point. Holly was sick and gave us everything she had.
Julie Hudak, 800: 2:19.2. Chuck was pleased with the sub-2:20 leg.
Kathryn Sheehan, 1600: 5:08. Solid leg and good end to a very busy season for our freshman phenom.

Great to see MIKE G at BU on Sunday. He is running great and he must supply me with race updates for this fancy blog. G also requested more women's team news, and I will try to be more diligent in that area. See? I already am. Ha!

In all, it was a long and mostly productive winter season. As you know, outdoor track follows closely on its heels and will be here in a matter of weeks, and will be done very quickly.

Thanks for following and reading.
