Weekend Upsets

What a wild weekend in the NFL! 3 of the 4 favored home teams went down in defeat.

But that result was no competition for the real upsets of the weekend.

First, Chelsea's time in the women's 800m race at the MIT Alumni meet was beaten by her old man's time in the men's race immediately afterwards. That was a pretty stunning upset, since her old man had not raced that distance since about 1984.

The real upset of the weekend came at the Rochester Relays, where the Schroeder boys pulled off an unlikely win, aided in large part by the performance of the WDR! The final score was:
1) Webster Schroeder 70
2) McQuaid 69
3) Edison Tech 65
3) Rush Henrietta 65
5) Pittsford Sutherland 39
21 other teams scored 1-34 points.

The 4x1600 relay scored 5 points:
11 Piacentini, Anthony 11 Webster Schr 4:58.38 1.25
15 Mauro, Chris 11 Webster Schr 5:03.56 1.25
16 Miller, Kenny 12 Webster Schr 5:04.60 1.25
17 Whittemore, Steve 11 Webster Schr 5:05.73 1.25

The 4x800 relay also scored 5 points:
1 Rush Henrietta 8:29.25 10
2 Pittsford Sutherland 8:33.69 8
3 McQuaid 8:36.47 6
4 Webster Schroeder 8:36.66 5
5 Spencerport 8:47.17 4

The short DMR (1000-800-600-400) scored 6 points:
1 Rush Henrietta 7:28.86 2 10
2 Pittsford Mendon 7:31.96 2 8
3 Webster Schroeder 7:34.22 2 6
4 Victor 7:35.30 2 5
5 Greece Olympia 7:37.53 2 4

Congratulations to the Schroeder Boys for such a fine effort.

The girls distance points were limited to 4, in the walk:
5 Irwin, Rebecca 10 Webster Schr 8:19.45 2
11 Doherty, Alaina 11 Webster Schr 9:02.97 2

And the girls finished just 2 points behind Rush-Henrietta and Mendon, who were tied for 5th.
