As you can see by this photo taken with Kathy Gaye's iPhone at Princeton on Friday night, it was a rainy night for the distance races at the ECAC Championships. Junior Michelle Gaye ran a gutsy and aggressive race, but her pace fell off during the final two miles or so. Despite this, she placed in the middle of the elite field, and she essentially matched her personal-best time, which was set at Bucknell a month ago. She was on major PR pace and near school record pace for the first half of the race and more. For someone who is new to the event, the race and the effort show great promise for the future. This race caps a wonderful outdoor track season for Michelle. Next up is Kristen Traub in the 3,000-meter run on Sunday afternoon at ECACs. Here are the numbers from tonight:
