Yale Season Opener today

Indoor track started today at Coxe Cage on the campus of Yale University.

Today’s highlights:

--Freshman sprinter Danielle Asaro made her presence immediately known by tying the 2004 school record in the 60-meter dash (Marissa Artiano) in the preliminary (8.27 seconds). In the final, she finished eighth in 8.28 seconds. Nicely done!
--Transfer Nicole Scicolone got third in the long jump in 5.28 meters (17 feet, 4 inches), a very good early-season jump, especially considering her lack of event-specific practice. Welcome aboard!
--For the men, our three 60 dashers (Mike McCloskey, Tyler Schwarz and Darren Bushey) all sprinted to personal-best marks. Welcome to freshman Tyler Schwarz!
--Special kudos to McCloskey and Bushey, who definitely earned their meal money today! They did their usual 60 dash and 200 dash double, but gamely added a 4x400 leg at the end of the day to allow our other 400 men some extra work. Thanks, guys!
--Senior captain Tommy Lipari had a strong early-season day with a 4:22 mile and a solid 2:01 anchor leg in the 4x800.
--Sophomore Arquimedes DelaCruz was the highest finisher on the day, second in the 5k in 15:07. Our boy Q needs some rest, after a long and successful XC season, a very excellent Turkey Trot last week and now this. An eventful and successful 2011 of running!

Here are the results and splits from today.
