Matthew Vassar Open results

What’s not to love about one of the best nights of the year, when we have our “home meet” at the Matthew Vassar Open?

The weather was perfect, as usual. The support – from team members, family, friends, administrators, etc. – was the best, as usual.

As has become our tradition, we loaded up on the night’s finale in the 10,000-meter run. Congrats to freshman Billy Hild for a nearly 1-minute PR and that coveted sub-33:00; sophomore Will Schanz for improving his PR by more than a minute; freshman Mike Clausen for a wonderful debut in the event.

Thanks for Pat Deedy for helping me with the splits you read below.

Now, it’s off to the MAAC meet at Rider on Saturday. Check for first-day results if I can get them up from the hotel on Saturday night.
