Mike Page just missed breaking his own freshmen school record but did manage to finish second in the steeplechase with a big finishing kick down the homestretch to pull away. Pat Hayes was nearly back to his old self as he continued to recover from a sinus infection but had his best race of the season to grab 4th place and again just missed breaking the school record. Jared Moshe finished 6th in the 400 and anchored both the 4 x 100 relay ( Greg Baker, Jank Chandrasoma and Brian Hart) that got 7th  and the 4 x 400 relay of Hart, Chandrasoma and Robert Long that finished 3rd. The 4 x 400 was hoping to improve upon its breakthrough time from last weekend in order to improve upon its chances for a trip to nationals but fell a little shy.

Amie Shei inched closer to the sub 60 mark in the 400 as she ran to a 60.33 to lead the women who raced at Williams. The 4 x 800 team of Becca Woo, Aly Venti, Laurel Kilgour and Annie Perez just missed earning All-New England honors as they placed 9th and had exceptional legs from Aly and Annie. before running their legs in the 4 x 800, Becca ran to a season PR in the 1500 and Laurel led her 800 section for the large majority of the race before finishing 2nd in the section. Kate Hamill and Ali Dimon, both battled illness to perform strongly in the 400 Hurdles and 5000 respectively. Ali Stahl fouled on her attemps in the long jump but looked like her old self with some big jumps and will look to ECAC this week to see how far she can go.

Janak Chandrasoma highlighted the men's 10th place finish as he raced to a new PR in the 200 qualifying section, and then came back even stronger to run 22.11 and earn 4th place and All-New England distinction. Pat Hayes continues to prove he is one of the top hurdlers in the region as he finished 4th and was again just off the school record of 15.08. Jared Moshe and RObert Long each qualified for the 400 finals with stellar runs in the semi's as both ran in the mid 49's and then came back to grab 6th and 7th place in the finals. Both relays earned 4th place finishes - the 4 x 100 team changed up the order and the personnel and the team of Greg Baker, Janak, Brian Hart and Jared ran to their fastest time of the season. The 4x400 team of Hart, Robert, Jared and Janak, despite being obviously tired from a long day of racing battled again with Williams down the homestretch and came within .03 seconds of beating them and grabbing 3rd. Greg Baker was 10th in the 200 while John Stanton-Geddes ran to an 11th place finish in the 1500.

The women's 4 x 800 relay of Annie Perez, Becca Woo, Kate Hamill and Laurel Kilgour just missed the school record as they finished 2nd overall with a very fast performance. In the open 800 on Sunday, Laurel led the fast section for the first 600m and ended up placing 4th with a new school record time. In the heat before, Annie and Kate battled to the line with both getting their best times ofthe season. Helen Dole, competing in her first official heptathlon had a great competition as she PR'd in several events and would place 6th overall with a score of 3139; Emily Lobsenz placed 8th in the 10k wiht an NCAA provisional qualifying mark; Alsion Dimon put forth a tremendous effort and raced her fastest time of the year in the 5k and grabbed 5th place with Erinn White just missing 8th place but with a sub 19 minute performance; Amie Shei had a great race in the 400 as she finished 6th with her fastest time of the season and then came back to lead off the 6th place 4 x 400 relay consisting of herself, Kaurel, Annie and Kate.

Pat Hayes was Amherst's lone winner, as he cruised to a victory in the 110 Hurdles with his fastest time of the year - in a race decided by more then .01. In the 400, Jared Moshe and Robert Long went 2 and 3 with their best times to date with Jared dipping under the 50 second mark. The 4 x 400 relay, always met with great excitement, lived up to its billing as Williams and Amherst ran neck and neck throughout the race as Brian Hart, Long and Janak Chandrasoma matched their Williams counterparts. On the final exchange, we were down a few steps but coming off the first turn, Jared picked the pace and moved into the lead until the final turn where he battled with the Williams runner and position jockeying caused him to lose the baton. John Stanton-Geddes ran a very smart and gutsy race as hetook the lead at the bell in the 1500 and finished just off of his personal best; the 800 - both sections - were a big highlight as Mike Sypkens and Andy Schneider each raced great in the unseeded section with Sypkens holding on for the win in a new PR and Unit finishing with a torrid kick down the stretch to run his fastest time. The seeded section was equally exciting as Ben Kozyak raced under two minutes and a 4th place finish, looking strong throughout, while Jake Cooper inched closer to the 2:00 barrier as he ran 2:01 and had a huge finish to inch in front of the Wesleyan runners at the line; David Yoo proved his versatility as he scored in several events including 2nd places in the long and high jumps; Eric Osborne and JP Zito had great 100m races as they placed 3rd and 4th; Julius Nanna jumped to his seasonal best in the triple jump to place 3rd; Mike Page nearly broke the freshmen steeplechase record as he finished 2nd and has his eyes set on the record inthe upcoming meets.

The women capped the meet with a second place finish in the 4 x 400 as Amie Shei, Laurel Kilgour, Annie Perez and Kate Hamill carried the stick. Kate finished 3rd in the 400 Hurdles, Laurel and Annie each ran solidly in the 800m to finish in the Top 8, and Amie had storng races on both the 200 and 400 events.

Jared and Brian ran neck and neck in the 400 as they ran to a 2nd and 3rd place finish with both nearly going under 50 sec ( a 2 second PR for Hart), and Janak finishing 5th. The 200 was a lot of Amherst again as Janak, Jared and Brian all dipped under 23 sec's to go 2-4, and Greg Baker and Eric Osborne finishing 7-8. The 100m had Greg, Eric and Kevin Kennard all running 11.4 to finish in the scoring. Brett Richey had an outstaind race in the 1500 to win his section with a big finishing kick and looks to be regaining the confidence to make a big breakthrough this season. Jake Cooper lowered his 800 PR a couple of seconds as he looked great in his heat, and Robert Long ran to a 7th place finish in the same event. Mike Page ran a strong 5k to finish 3rd in his first attempt at the event, with Carson Taylor setting a new PR to finish 6th.
