Wolfie meet: Men's results

Here are the results from today's meet on the longer Stony Brook course. Weather was perfect. This course is not that hilly, but also does not run particularly fast due to its terrain; in other words, a perfect, early-season meet. On average, you can lop about 20 seconds off these times to get the more traditional 8km mark. By that metric, this was a very solid early-season meet for us, especially for the freshmen running the longer distance for the first time. We sat out three potential varsity runners in Ken Walshak, Saad Baig and Ryan Colabella. Otherwise, everyone ran, and most did well. For number crunchers in the blogosphere, I have included the 2013 times for those who ran last year. It’s interesting to note that we had exactly eight runners complete the course as fast or faster than our lead runner from 2013, when we also sat out selected runners, albeit a few more than today. So, that is a positive sign.
