MAAC meet, Day 1

We got off the bus to a sunny and warm afternoon, but the weather quickly turned sour. The wind whipped, the rain spitted out sideways and it was generally breezy, damp and – by the end of the 10,000 – chilly.

Overall, it was a solid afternoon for us.

On the track, the 3,200-meter relays were a bit disappointing for us, but the wind was REALLY whipping at that point.

Brittany Burns had a strong race in the women’s steeplechase. In the men’s steeple, we took four of the six scoring spots.

Addie DiFrancesco ran a season-best time and got third in the women’s 10k. The men’s 10k was a tactical mess, as usual, with our guys surging and leading and falling back throughout the race. We did manage to eke out a scoring spot.

Doug Ainscow dutifully recorded all the results, but I am too tired to type them up at this time. I will compile all the results and splits after the weekend is over – early next week.

Back at it in the morning, when the weather promises to be lovely!

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers in the blogosphere.
