Larry Ellis/Princeton results

I was on an airplane heading back from California when most of these meet was occurring. We had a small but strong contingent of athletes at Princeton.

Most of the women had strong performances, with all the ladies in the 1,500 running season- and/or personal-best times. Briana Crowe had another strong 800-meter performance, and Erin Thompson had a solid 3k race.

On the men’s side, freshman David Marthy won his section of the 800-meter run and essentially equaled his indoor time that was an IC4A qualifier (1:54.57 indoors; 1:54.66 yesterday). This is a good sign, since David has been nursing various leg ailments for most of the outdoor season.
