Bucknell Friday Night results

It was very windy and very chilly at Christy Mathewson Memorial Field on Friday night for the first day of the Bucknell meet. What a great meet this is! We will definitely have to make a return trip here, next year and/or in the future.

Pretty weird that I was at Little League practice Thursday night in shorts and a T-shirt, and sweating. One night later, I am at a track meet with 5 layers, winter hat, gloves and freezing cold. Ah, spring in the Northeast ...

A few quick highlights ...

-- In the 10km, Girma Segni broke his own school record and qualified for ICs with a 4th place finish of 30:08.28 (15:06/15:02 neg split)
-- Also in 10km, Tim Keegan qualified for ICs for the second straight year in 31:03.98. Timmy went out in a suicidal pace (15:15 for 5km, which is 4 seconds faster than his 5K RACE last week at Princeton!!!). Obvious fade, but he hung on and got the job done
-- In the 5km, Matt Flint notched a 30-second PR of 14:38.77, just missing the IC4A qualifying mark in that event
-- Also in the 5km, Quimes DelaCruz ran a neg-split 15:03.14, getting a US Junior standard in that event. He now has the choice between the steeple and the 5km (or both!). He is the first athlete in school history to qualify in two US Junior events in the same season. Nicely done, Q!
-- In the 1500, Will Griffin (running unattached) got a PR of 4:00.21
-- In the 3,000 steeple, Matt Janczyk ran strong for most of the race before a slight late-race fade to 9:36.20, less than a second off his PR.
-- In the women's 1500, Kara Lightowler ran a strong PR of 4:54.61.

Editor's note: I am brain dead at this point. If I messed up splits or missed something, I'll try to fix it on the bus ride home later today and will post the remainder of the meet on the blog late Saturday or Sunday. Here goes ...
