IC4A/ECAC splits

Here are the splits from Friday night’s races.

You can see that the steeple entrants (Britt and Quimes) ran tough races after long seasons of many steeple races.

Will’s 5km was solid, with a strong finish after some relatively slow middle laps.

The 10km guys ran similar races, with Kenny Walshak maintaining his late-race pace a little better than Conor Shelley (who was wearing a renegade and homemade racing singlet that surprised me!). Amazingly, though they were nowhere near each other, both guys ran identical splits for their respective last laps.

What’s next? Will is definitely in for the NCAA Regional in Indiana. Quimes and Britt are definitely on the bubble in the steeplechase. The top-48 declared entries get to race. We will declare them both and hope for the best.
