In addition, I think I'll try and crank a couple more Etrain 11 style articles during the last few weeks of indoor/first few weeks of outdoors. If you have any suggestions for stories, feel free to reach out. I'll also make a little list at the bottom of this post of some names I'm already thinking to include. If you see your name on there and are interested in providing some feedback on your season/experience (or you specifically do not want me to write a story about you), feel free to reach out as well. The usual means of communication apply (email, twitter, comments, etc.)
Some teams/names:
James Abrahams, Matt D'Aquila, Avery Lederer
Sean Brown, Hudson Delisle, Dave Whitfield
Liam Conway
Isaac Kole, Jack Wisner

Here's a meaningless, but interesting factoid. The boys' and girls' individual races were eerily similar.
ReplyDelete800:
Top 2 pull away, but the #2 pick ultimately upsets the #1.
(Terri Turner upsets #1 seed Arizin)
(Hoey pulls away from Affolder)
Mile:
Despite a strong field, the Millrose champ pulls away and makes things look easy.
(Abby Goldstein)
(Noah Affolder)
3000:
Another deep field, but the top two break off, and the favorite out kicks the challenger to win by about 2.5-3.5 seconds.
(Goldstein and Savchik pull away, Goldstein wins 9:46.8 to 9:50)
(Henderson and Kujdych pull away, Henderson wins 8:34 to 8:37)
Hate to differ but in the boys 3000, the favorite and #1 seed got tripped.
DeleteAbbie Goldstein pulled off the mile-3000 double which is incredible. Not sure any guy has ever done it. Tony Russell tried it in indoors and outdoors but it didn't go. Same with Brehm.
ReplyDeleteRustin's 1200 guy, Harpstead, was sick with the flu. He and Hontz ended up switching, why Rustin ran so far off their season best.
ReplyDeleteThought this was interesting: Milesplit scored the national times for distance events like an XC race and PA teams fared pretty well. 800: Pennsbury #4, La Salle #14, Greensburg Salem #22. Mile: Carlisle #9, La Salle #10,Ohara #13, CRN #21. 3k: La Salle #6, OHara #7, DTW #8, CBE #15, and Lower Merion #17.
ReplyDeleteThat plus the fact that the top 6 DMR times from the state meet broke into the top 10 nationally are making PA indoor distance look pretty good so far this season.
