Friday was a big day for high school distance runners and collegiate relays.
In the Women's College 4x1500m relay, Iona was the sole NY representative. They placed 6th with a solid 18:22.25. Oregon took home the gold on this day.
In the Men's College Distance Medley Relay, Columbia took home a very strong 5th place performance. Their time of 9:43.21 was less than 8/10 of a second off the winner--Princeton--in one of the tightest match-ups of its kind in PR history.
The Boys' High School DMR had Arlington coming in at 4th, Stuyvesant in 10th, St. Anthony's behind them in 11th, followed by Monsignor Farrell in 12th and wrapped up by Port Jefferson.
The Boys' High School Mile featured a remarkably speedy field of runners. Zavon Watkins finished 6th in a time of 4:15.49. Christian Delago was next in 8th place at 4:17.12.
In the Boys' High School 3000m Championship, Marc Violone of Byram Hills was the first New Yorker across the line in 6th place at 8:35.46. He was followed by Kris Moran of North Babylon at 8:40.72 in 13th, Austin Lane of Greenwich Central at 8:49.45 in 17th, Thomas Awad in 19th at 8:52.55 for Chaminade, and rounded out by an 8:53.71 performance from Mitchell Kun of Sheepshead Bay.
GREAT JOB by all runners last night! We are looking forward to more of the same today, and here is what you can expect to see:
At 1:25 PM today, the College Men's Mile Championship. Columbia (#1 in our NY State Poll) and Navy (not from NY, but a fan favorite) will line up here.
At 2:05 PM, a "USA vs The World" event--the Distance Medley Relay. Two American teams will face off against teams from Canada, Ethiopia, Kenya and elsewhere.
At 3:00 PM we'll see the Olympic Development Mile, with quite a few New York runners from various clubs around the metro area and Syracuse Chargers. At 3:55 PM, the men will have their turn at the same event.
Today is the last day of this epic track meet. Tomorrow, we'll have a 5-day recap and name our MVNY (Most Valuable New Yorker) with a few runners-up. Run smart and run free!
