BU Season Opener: Men's results

Superlatives are always tricky. Words like “best ever” or “always” or “never” should be avoided or at the very least, used with great caution. Was this our “best ever” season-opening meet? Perhaps. The best in a long while, for sure. Was it a “rust buster,” that phrase often used for first competitions of the season? Heck no, it wasn’t. For a team that hasn’t set foot at an indoor track meet in nearly two years, these men showed up and brought energy and fire, from start to finish. Right from the outset, with the 60-meter dash guys: Jeremy Mooney blazed to a heat victory in a personal-best time (7.06). Freshmen Lukas Bussetti and Jared Tomasetti has strong inaugural collegiate races. Other highlights as the day progressed:

--The milers worked well together with three PRs – Tyler Perry, Aidan Pech, Thomas Dinsmore, in rapid succession. Neat.

--The 400 dash guys with strong open PRs (Ryan Bahnsen, 50.25), Easton Eberwein (51.82). Outstanding. And they brought more heat later in the day in the relay (more on that next).

--Senior Pat Beglane FINALLY breaking 2:00 in the 800-meter run with a decisive and strongly run 1:59.59.

--The 4x400 team – all of them doubling back – ran 3:21.77 and left us all jabbering about how the decades-old school record of 3:20.04 is in jeopardy. Yeah man! In the B relay, Pax came back just minutes after a stellar PR in the 3km with an anchor split of 52.46, fastest of that relay.

--Oh yeah, in that 3km: Pax closed in 63 seconds (30-second last lap) for a stellar PR of 8:37.82. Brendan Dearie notched a collegiate best and Jon Kittredge broke 9:00 for the first time in his career as well. Neat!

--In the field, freshman Noah Brown closed in on the pole vault school record with a debut mark of 4.20 meters, just .06 of a meter away from the mark. And as previously posted, Lukas Bussetti broke the nearly 50-year-old long jump record.

Most importantly, we had FUN being a TEAM out there (see picture). Great to be back on the track and back at BU.
