Kellenberg grads shine at Monmouth

Looooooooong day (and cold!) at Monmouth ... 5:30 a.m. departure, 9:30 p.m. arrival, followed by meeting Marist Running alums for a cup of late night coffee before they run Mudders and Grunters later this morning.

A quick search of the Internets has not located complete results for today's meet, which is OK since I am in desperate need of sleep.

Very quick highlights from today: It was a good day to be a Marist sophomore distance runner who graduated from Kellenberg Memorial High School in 2009.

--In the day's first event, Mike Nicoletti won the Arctic 10,000-meter run in a personal-best time of 32:31.90.

--In the day's almost last event, Billy Posch won the Equally Arctic 5,000-meter run in a remarkable time of 15:17.16. It is remarkable in that it was about a 40-second PR for Billy, and it came several hours AFTER he ran the 1,500 in around 4:09. Wowsers!

There were several other chilly highlights on the day. I will post complete results and splits when I can (may not be till Monday, be patient, please).

Thanks to Split Taking Bros Scrudato and Deedy for allowing this old man to keep his gloved hands inside his pockets all day. Did I mention it was Arctic out there today?
