Congratulations to junior distance runner Ryan Brown, who told us at practice Thursday that he was accepted for a summer internship program at The Hartford in Connecticut. The hourly pay is very, very good for a college student, and the internship comes with housing as well. And, of course, the professional experience is great for Brownie.
You never know what kind of news each day at practice will bring.
On Wednesday, I had to inform Brownie and two other hard-working and strong distance men that their entry seed time for the 3,000 at Valentine was rejected due to field size limitations. The meet did state that they were limiting the fields, and unfortunately they were among the first runners on the chopping block. It stinks, but they will be undeterred and train hard for the next racing opportunity -- whenever that may be.
A day later at practice, Brownie gets this great news. It is well-deserved and well-earned. As always, I am proud that our team members are students and athletes – usually in that order. Which is the way it should be. Always.
OK, we are off to Boston soon. I will not be getting back to the hotel until very late, so the women’s meet results from today may not be posted till the early-morning hours Saturday or not till I get back on Sunday. Look for the men's results here on Sunday, or online sooner at www.lancertiming.com.
One more programming note: Rumor has it we might be seeing 50 degrees late next week. That will feel like a heat wave.
