These splits posts, for obvious reasons, tend to be mid and long distance event centric, since those events tend to lend themselves to splits and further analysis. The Yale meet, however, was an opportunity for our entire team to shine and really tune up for MAACs.
And so in this post, we will highlight a lot of the non-distance highlights:
--Mike Clifford’s 400-meter hurdle race was nothing short of remarkable. He nearly broke Matt McClellan’s long-standing school record, just missing by .06! I failed to start my watch for his race; I knew it was fast, but I did not know it was THAT fast until I checked the official results. Nicely done!!!!
--Jesse Aprile quietly had one of the best all-around days we’ve had here in a long time. He started off with a PR long jump of 6.40 meters early in the morning. A little later in the morning, he was part of the 4x100 relay that ran a season-best time and the first sub-44.00 this season. Then, he capped it off with a strong PR in the 200-meter dash that had him asking what the SR is in that event (for those keeping score at home, it’s 22.82 seconds). And oh yeah, he also had a decent triple jump best of 12.28 meters, that did not even show in the official results. Jesse will be equally busy at MAACs this coming weekend. Good stuff!
--Phil Krupka had a strong season-best in the 400-meter dash. I was a bit harsh on Phil after his 4x400 leg at Penn Relays. We know he is capable of better and he showed it at Yale. Phil’s in phenomenal shape and we are hoping for a great finish out of him at MAACs too.
--Chris Vanzetta ran a beautiful 800-meter race, just 2 days after a strong Penn 4x400 split. We are hoping for great relay legs from him at MAACs in the 4x800 and 4x400. Nicely done!!
--The 4x400 relay team ran FASTER than the relay at Penn, this despite everyone doubling back and the fact that three of the four legs were actually penciled in to our B TEAM, which did not even run. Crazy.
--Freshman spear chucker Jake Akey had a great series of throws in the javelin, earning a personal-best and probably topping it afterwards in unmeasured throws because of the minimum marks requirements at Yale. Jake has been dealing with a throwing hand injury, but he has gamely changed his throwing grip and is adapting well.
--Great to have senior Sam McMullen, who is perpetually injured, back and running very very strong. He won his section of the 1500 with a blazing 62-second last lap.
--In the same race, we welcomed back our old pal and long-lost teammate Ryan Fitzsimons. Fitz‘ study abroad period in London ended last week and he is now back on campus, training and racing. There was some obvious rust there, but he ran what amounts to a solid first-meet time. He’ll be back for more Friday at Vassar! Great to have him back!
