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.

Comment: You did a lot of the early dirty work by leading, then when gapped by Iona/Girm you were in no man's land and simply punched the clock for the prime scoring spot. You did your job. Now you can start cranking mileage for your prime time season, 10km. I cannot wait!

Comment: You had a plan and you executed it perfectly! You had me worried for most of the race but you came through in the end with one of the best sneak attacks I've ever seen to gobble up that last scoring spot. Nicely done.
Zak Smetana 15:32.46. 7th place. First sub-16:00!

NOTE: Thanks to Geist for recording all 5km and 3km splits so I could yell like a maniac on the finish stretch.
Mile run

Note to Will Griffin (2:09 through half, 4:22.26 finish); Duggan (4:36.79); Geist (4:42.53): Sorry I missed your splits I got caught up in Vess' race and focusing on his exact lap splits as he was racing for the win. Again, sorry.
800-meter run
Tom Lipari: 28, 56 (28), 1:25 (29), 1:56.27 (31.27). 5th place. Ballsy race. Nice job.

Brian McCormick: 29, 57 (28), 1:28 (31), 2:01.54 (33.54). Not bad after feeling weak all week.

1km: 2:45; 2km: 5:50 (3:05); 8:52.51 (3:02.51)
Comment: I'll take the hit here. Bad coaching on my part. Going out with the fresh Iona guys in 2:11 through the half, after a hard 5km a few hours prior ... NOT A GOOD IDEA! We should have had you run for a comfortable third and help Flint/Curt instead of flogging your body through this brutality. Bad planning. Won't happen again.

Comment: You did a lot of dirty work for Flint, as planned. Unfortunately, this was not the MAAC meet we had planned. In retrospect, maybe using you in the DMR would have been smart. That's coaching error. You'll bounce back at ICs ...

More MAAC ...
Just tracked down some more results from the meet and there are a few more highlights ...
-- Max Carow broke his own SR in the pole vault in getting second place. He jumped 4.20 meters, bettering his previous best of 4.15 meters. A little practice can go a long way, as Coach Chuck reported Max was finally able to do a little jumping in the McCann Center last week. Excellent.
-- Our point total of 70.5 was the most in school history at an indoor MAAC championship. That's huge, especially since we were "giving away" so many events in which we didn't even have competitors: shot, weight, long jump, triple jump, hurdles.

MAAC attack
First of all, thanks to all alums and others that have expressed concern about my son's condition. He has a severe case of the flu, along with other related viruses, that have knocked him down bigtime. He is slowly recovering but still remains weak. We're working to get him back to full health soon enough. It'll be a long, slow process but I feel we are going in the right direction. Next year? We will vaccinate, no doubt! Thanks again.
He was released from the hospital on Thursday afternoon. I was unsure as to whether I would go to the MAAC meet at the Armory. We decided the best course of action would be to drive down in the event I needed to rush home for any reason. Didn't want to be stranded in NYC for hours waiting for a bus departure. Fortunately, all was quiet on the homefront, but I was checking my cell phone for texts and messages every few minutes throughout the night. Suffice to say my mind was not 100 percent into the meet.
As for the meet ... it was one of our better MAAC meets in quite a while. I still have not located complete results online and still have to do some research (it was a late-night drive home, and I'm still groggy from the week in general), but we scored a lot more points than usual at this meet. While a lot of the points were in distance races -- and our guys did phenomenal there -- we also generated some fantastic points in the 400, pole vault and the very exciting 4x400 that we almost won! And of course, our favorite steeplechaser Greg "Rickey" Masto getting his vital points in the high jump!
We barely avoided last place, but we also were within striking distance of Iona for third place. Overall, not bad.
Freshman Adam Vess was the big highlight in that he won the mile in a school-record time of 4:08, despite the fact that the first lap was in a pedestrian 35 seconds. In fact, his last 1200 meters were sizzled in a remarkable 3:01-3:02 range. Vess, being Vess, was pissed off at the slow first lap. He shook his head, looked at me and muttered "screw this" (actually, the first word was not "screw") and took off like a shot. He went wire-to-wire, which is never an easy thing, and finished ahead of a pretty solid field.
I will try to highlight more in future posts, as well as post the splits -- although, as usual with wacky MAAC races the splits are a bit uneven!
Thanks to the excellent alumni support: Hopkins, Schab, Decker, Quinn, Bamberger. If others were there that I am forgetting, sorry. You can vilify me in the comments.
We'll be back at the Armory one last time next Friday for the NYU meet.

Note to my team ...
I have missed being at practice the past few days, but obviously I need to be here with my son as he recuperates from his illnesses. Because of the uncertainty of the next few days, there is a chance I will not be able to make it to the MAAC Championships at the Armory.
If not, I will be there in spirit and I am hopeful that you guys will run strong and maximize our points potential. I believe we are deep enough and strong enough to score a fair amount of points and do well in the meet.
Remember that it is a championship meet, and it is all about PLACE. Do your best to get the highest place you can on the team, and/or help a teammate maximize his or her scoring potential as well.

Kudos to Dr. K
Keith Strudler, longtime faculty advisor, mentor and true Friend of the Track Program, has received a promotion (see excerpt of memo emailed to Marist Community on Friday, below). Good for Keith!
As I said, he is a true friend of the program, having mentored many past runners in their communications careers and (pre-injury) he even knocked out some quality 10-milers with them, not to mention come with us on our long bus trips to Boston, New York and elsewhere. (He would note that the previous is a terrible, run-on sentence, by the way)
It's important to note that Keith achieved this promotion despite a debilitating back injury last fall, which forced him to teach courses and attend meetings lying prone on his back on a couch. He is recovering nicely and hopes to be back on the triathlon trail in a few months.
Feel free to send notes of congrats to Strudler at Keith.Strudler@Marist.edu.
From Thomas Wermuth, VP for Academic Affairs email: I am pleased to announce that, at its February 7 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the College acted on the following promotion: Dr. Keith Strudler, to Associate Professor of Communication. I would like to extend my congratulations to these candidates and to thank the members of the Rank and Tenure Committee for their long hours and careful consideration.

BU/Valentine update
Late night at BU, didn't get home till the wee hours. It was a solid meet for the men. Below is what I wrote for the Marist Web site. More details and splits will follow when I can.
NOTE TO ALUMNI AND FRIENDS: The MAAC meet is Friday at the Armory. Doesn't start till 6:30 p.m. and we'll be there late into the night. If you are interested, we'd love to see you in Washington Heights ...
BOSTON – Freshman Will Griffin (Columbia, CT) qualified for the IC4A Championships in the mile run, leading a brigade of personal-best performances by underclassmen for the Marist College men’s track team, which competed Saturday at the Valentine Invitational at Boston University.
Griffin improved his mile time by four seconds and finished in 4:13.97, qualifying for the IC4A Championships, which will be held at the same BU track on March 7-8. His classmate, freshman Tom Lipari (Greenvale, NY), improved his mile time by eight seconds and zoomed to a personal-best time of 4:18.18, which included a final 400-meter split of 62.0 seconds.
In the 500-meter dash, junior Colin Frederickson (Colonie, NY) continued his stellar sprinting season with a personal-best time of 1:05.91, which is less than a second shy of the IC4A qualifying mark in that event. He later ran a 50.0-second split in the 1,600-meter relay.
A pair of middle-distance runners notched strong personal-best times. Sophomore John Carabetta (Park Ridge, NJ) moved up from his usual sprint distances and debuted with a best of 1:58.91 at 800 meters. Freshman Kyle Havard (Atlantic Highlands, NJ) improved his best in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 2:32.58.
During the evening distance races, there were more highlights for the Running Red Foxes.
In the 3,000-meter run, freshman Matt Flint (Queensbury, NY) lowered his best by three seconds with a time of 8:30.49, which is just three seconds shy of the IC4A qualifying mark in that event. Freshman Curtis Jensen (Atlantic Highlands, NJ) lowered his personal-best in the event by a whopping 11 seconds with a time of 8:41.60. Additionally, sophomores Zak Smetana (Niskayuna, NY, 8:53:21) and Sam McMullen (Newton, NJ, 8:56.95) lowered their personal-bests in the event.
In the 5,000-meter run, sophomore Tim Keegan (Huntington Station, NY) lowered his personal-best in the event by 10 seconds and cracked the 15:00 barrier for the first time by clocking 14:56.45. He becomes the 11th Marist runner to crack the 15:00 time for 5,000 meters since the program was elevated to Division 1 status in 1991. Keegan’s classmate, sophomore Nick Webster (Latham, NY), registered a personal-best time of 15:11.96 in the same race.

Note to Prinz on previous comment: Thanks for the comment. I take the school records seriously and do not "assume" they will be broken easily, which makes this season gratifying so far. The 4x800 relay team record that Prinz is on ... that was one of my favorite relay teams of all-time, and I believe that record will survive this winter as there are no plans to stack a 4x800 for the remainder of the season. Thanks again for commenting and reading, as always ...

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.

New DMR record at the Armory ... barely!
Here is what I wrote for the Web site. More details on the meet and splits in the coming days ...
NEW YORK – The Marist College men’s track distance medley relay team set a school record and qualified for the IC4A Championships with their fifth-place finish at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational, held Friday night at the Armory Track and Field Center.
The team of freshman Will Griffin (Columbia, CT), junior Colin Frederickson (Colonie, NY), freshman Tom Lipari (Greenvale, NY) and freshman Adam Vess (Cromwell, CT) finished in 10:04.20, narrowly eclipsing the three-year-old school mark of 10:04.42. The time easily exceeded the IC4A standard (10:19.70) by more than 15 seconds.
However, the relay did not start out well for the Running Red Foxes, as the baton was knocked out of Griffin’s hand by another competitor moments after the starting gun. Griffin retrieved the baton and ran his 1,200-meter split in a slower-than-expected 3:09.1. Frederickson made up some of the difference as he blasted through the 400-meter split in 50.8 seconds. Lipari ran a personal-best split of 1:56.6, putting the Red Foxes back in the race. Vess made up much of the lost ground on the field with his anchor 1,600-meter split of 4:07.5.
Earlier in the day, junior captain Girma Segni (Bronx, NY) qualified for the IC4A Championships in the 3,000-meter run with a personal-best time of 8:23.25. Two weeks ago, Segni qualified for the IC4As in the 5,000-meter run. Also in the 3,000, senior Joe McElhoney (Beacon, NY) ran to a personal-best time of 8:46.33, despite being slowed by a knee injury.
The entire track team returns to action Saturday at the Valentine Invitational at Boston University.

CT gets into med school!
Breaking news: CT (Matt Szymaszek) just called my cell to share the FANTASTIC NEWS that he was accepted into the med school of his choice:
Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Erie, Pa.
One of my colleagues here at Dutchess County's Finest Daily Newspaper immediately commented that, if CT were to run for this school, that would be a lot of words to put on the singlet. Indeed.
Anyway: CONGRATS to CT for getting into his first choice. Of course, this means he will be subjecting himself to several harsh Lake Erie winters of training outside. Somehow, I do not think he will mind.
Nicely done!
