It was a solid night at Princeton, where the weather was warm and the breeze was light. The races are usually very competitive and the conditions are usually really conducive to fast times. Except for a breeze during the 10km, it was a great night weatherwise. The team highlights:
-- Tim Keegan qualified for IC4As in the 10km with a nearly 20-second PR of 30:51.92 and a nice neg split (15:28/15:23)
-- Nick Webster joined the sub-15:00 club in the 5km with a nearly 20-second PR of 14:52.52, despite a blistering early pace
-- Matt Janczyk notched a 15-second PR and looked great doing so in the steeple (9:35.69)
Here are the splits, in the order they were raced ...
3,000-meter steeplechase
Matt Janczyk, 9:35.69
74, 2:29 (75), 3:47 (78), 5:05 (78), 6:23 (78), 7:41 (78), missed last split on all races, sorry. Comment: Great improvement over the first steeple. Form looked fantastic. Nicely done!
Matt Flint, 9:41.03
73, 2:27 (74), 3:43 (76), 5:03 (80), 6:23 (80), 7:43 (80) ... Comment: You looked and raced ragged and tired. The goal for the next two weeks is to rejuvenate you and have you ready to pop a strong MAAC steeple. I know you can do that!
Tom Lipari, 9:42.08
75, 2:29 (74), 3:46 (77), 5:06 (80), 6:25 (79), 7:45 (80) ... Comment: You should have been with Flint for the belly of the race. You had a strong kick ... almost TOO strong. You'll get better at this. And this wasn't too bad, a 5-second PR.
1,500-meter run
Conor Shelley 4:05.13
63, 2:09 (66), 3:14 (65), 4:05.13 (67.13 final 400m). Comment: Blah. Blah. Blah.
David Raucci 4:05.60
64, 2:11 (67), 3:16 (65), 4:05.60 (65.60) Comment: Solid, but consistently mediocre.
5,000-meter run
Nick Webster 14:52.54
68, 2:18 (70), 3:27 (69), 4:37 (70), 5:49 (72), 7:01 (72), 8:14 (73), 9:27 (73), 10:41 (74), 11:56 (75), 13:08 (72), 14:18 (70), 14:52.54 (34.54). Comment: You survived a brutal early pace, faded and kicked well from 1km out. Very proud of this effort.
Joe McElhoney 15:22.96
71.4, 2:23.3 (71.9), 3:34.8 (71.5), 4:47.3 (72.5), 6:00.4 (73.1), 7:14.4 (74.0), 8:30.8 (76.4), 9:47.0 (76.2), 11:02.8 (75.8), 12:18.5 (75.7), 13:33.8 (75.3), 14:47.7 (73.9), 15:22.96 (35.26). Comment: You inexplicably led the race, then faded, but toughed it out and looked like you could have gone many more laps at this pace. Which you'll need to do a few nights from now at Penn!

Comment: Fantastic race in less-than-ideal conditions in a small field. You earned it every lap of the way. When the pace slowed, you took the lead and pushed it. Great job.
