Fairfield Invitational information

Here is a quick "fact sheet" for Saturday's meet, for those interested in attending, or just for those who are interested ...

Fairfield Invitational
Official name: The 34th annual Victor F. Leeber, S.J., Cross Country Invitational
Where: Fairfield University campus
Race times:
Women’s 5K, 11 a.m.
Men’s 8K, 11:45 a.m.

Race course: Entirely on the Fairfield campus. Three-quarters of the course is off-road (grass). Flats (not spikes) are recommended

Who is racing for the men:

Freshmen (12): Doug Ainscow, Mike Clausen, Pat Deedy, Billy Hild, Andrew James, Danny Mendoza, Isaiah Miller, Kevin O’Sullivan, Chris Reynolds, Nick Salek, Ryan Scrudato, Ben Windisch
Sophomores (4): Brendan Green, Mike Keegan, Matt Panebianco, Will Schanz
Juniors (4-5): Ryan Brown, Ryan Fitzsimons, Kyle Havard (questionable, due to injury), Luke Shane, Brian Townsend

Comment on men's team we are fielding: No seniors! A lot of freshmen! This team represents our present and our future. Should be fun.

Who is racing for the women: The majority of the team. The only ladies not racing are those that have some injury issues. It may not be our full varsity squad, but it will be close.

Of note: Back in the 1990s, we attended the Fairfield Invy on a yearly basis. This is our first return to the Fairfield campus and the Fairfield meet for more than 10 years. I believe the last time we raced at Fairfield was 1997. Phil, if you could verify this, that would be great.

Hope to see some of you there...
