Home meet, overview

Another great morning at Vassar Farm and Ecological Preserve, as we welcomed five visiting teams and countless family, friends and alums for our one home meet of the year. The weather was beyond perfect. When I woke up before dawn, the temperature was a brisk 43 degrees. Yow! You betcha my heated seat was on in the Subaru. The sun came out but then ducked behind the clouds during the races -- probably mid-50s and cloudy, does it get any better than that? Of course it doesn't ... especially on September 2.

Our men and women ran strong (as you'll see in the upcoming results posts) and our Senior Day ceremony seems to get better and better each and every year. So glad that our track seniors and families could make it. Many thanks to our friends at Vassar College -- especially head coach James McCowan, who prepared the courses so well -- and to Palmer Weimann's parents (Martha and Ted) for coordinating an excellent tailgate. Great start to our long, three-season journey. It good to feel good, and we do. But it's back to work tomorrow, as our season awaits us in the coming weeks and months.
