BU meet report

It was a beautiful day at Franklin Park: Sunny, breezy and mild -- but not too hot. A perfect day for cricket. Huh? Well, if you were there (and MIKE G was, great to see him!), you saw an excellent cricket match. Of course, we all were trying to figure out how the game was played, but could not.

Oh yeah. There was this xc meet going as well.

The last time we went to Franklin Park for a September meet, it was 90-plus degrees, dusty, windy and generally miserable. This was a much better day. On both the men's and the women's sides, I felt we ran well but can do better. Which is a nice place to be in the early season.

Here are the results. I will add commentary and other thoughts later today, tonight or whenever.

Women's team results

The meet was scored multiple duals. For the purposes of the blog readership, I have scored it both invitational style and dual-meet style. There were no awards, so it really does not matter how you break down the scoring.

Men's individual results

Note: Listed are place, name, finishing time, 5k split time. A few issues: 1. On most guys over 27:10, the times I had on my watch were different than the official finish time. The time in parenthesis is what I had on my watch; 2. Nick Webster was not listed as a finisher. Although he did not run as well as we would have liked, mostly due to a hip injury, he did in fact finish, and so I include him in our results here.
