New Balance Collegiate results

Our limited squad at the Armory this weekend had positive performances. Each race in which we were entered had its strong points. Here are the highlights, in the order the events were run.

Women’s DMR: Season-best time, solid efforts across the board, especially Britt’s stellar leadoff leg.

Men’s DMR: IC4A qualifier, easily exceeding the standard by more than 11 seconds. Solid relay splits, including a personal-best 1200 split for Will Griffin and a negative-split 1600 for Matt Flint (2:07/2:05).

Men’s 5,000: IC4A qualifying mark for Quimes DelaCruz, as well as a 20-second PR and his first time under 15:00. Incredibly even splits, as you will see below.

Men’s 800: Personal-best time for sophomore Matt Panebianco, who had a less-than-stellar start and tried unsuccessfully -- twice! -- to pass on the inside lane (a Coach Pete pet peeve!). Despite all this, Matt still ran tough and PRed.
