Met Championships results

At long last, the (assumed to be) official results from Friday/Saturday at Rutgers. Friday highlights included:

--Personal best hammer throw by Sean Ellman.
--Personal best runs by Nicoletti, Meegan and Brownie in 10km.
--Strong performances by women in 5km.

Based on all reports I heard, there was nothing memorable -- and everything forgettable -- about the Saturday portion of this meet, which featured terrible conditions that got worse as the day wore on.

Funny what a difference a week makes in April: At UMass, we had ideal conditions and the performances showed. At Rutgers, we had terrible conditions ... and the performances showed.

Note on splits: Thanks to my pals for doing them. You'll notice different formats on different runners. This is how they were presented to me. The information is all there. If you have a preference in format, let me know. The only-lap-splits format is easier to type and easier to read, but I still like to include the overall time when available. If anyone cares to comment, shoot me an email or let me know.
