Update

I saw the results of the Webster Invitational here.

It was disappointing to see that we had no girls in the 800 or 3000. In the 1500, the good news was that Anneleise was less than two seconds behind Brianna, the bad news was that Brianna only ran 5:23, but still a decent time for Anneleise, given the conditions. Becka was the lone participant in the Steeplechase. Finally, the 4x800 averaged 2:46, which seems to be a solid improvement over the dual meets, but fell short of Letchworth by a fraction of a second.

On the boys side, I wish I had been able to see the 800m. AJ and Ryan were edged out by Brimstein from our cross-town rivals. The 2:03 winning time seems to indicate a tactical race. In the 1600, we had Whitty moving up and Geoff moving down from their usual distances.

The 3200 results are very interesting. It shows Kenny, who was sick at home, finishing in a dead heat with Nico! What does that say about Nico's performance? Actually, Nico's time was quite good, especially given the heat and wind that were present. And it looks like Geoff Kelly ran another steady race. Meanwhile, a couple of other Sophomores tried their hands at the Steeplechase, with both John and Joe turning in respectable first time performances.

I'm not sure what happened in the 4x800, but Hilton walloped us pretty good. They ran a pretty decent 8:23 (Fontanez makes that much easier to achieve), but we barely averaged under 2:09 (end of a long, hot day?).

Next up is Gates. I think a new track may have been part of their massive reconstruction project last year, and the Wednesday forecast looks good for running. Here is the brief scouting report, which is consistent with their XC performance, with the exception of a missing Steve Schwalm, who finished halfway between Nico and Nate at Counties (but 30 seconds behind Nate on the same course in our dual meet):
