Meet Recap
Athletes of the Meet - Carlyle Eubank'10 and Jennifer Rybak'10
With a warm and beautiful day to compete, and many parents having made the trip to watch and put on a great feast afterwards, the teams had a lot of extra incentive - if the annual Little Three meet were not enough. The dup of Shauneen Garrahan and Maria Millard again led the team, as they posted the days individual victories in the 5000 - with a meet record and an NCAA Auto mark and in the 400 Hurdles - just missing the meet record. To finish the day in winning fashion, Maria led off the 4x400 relay of Caitlin Murphy, Hannah Campbell and Carly Levenson that posted a victory. Jennifer Rybak used her multi event talents to full effect as she was in numerous events throughout the day helping the team score points in the hurdles, the jumps and the throws. Elise Tropiano and heather Wilson dropped down to the 1500 for a tune-up and finished 2-3, with Zandra Walton and Meg Ray coming in shortly after them. Heather came back later in the 5k, using it as a 10k preparation, to finish 2nd as Nicole Anderson would get the 1-3 sweep, and Liz Dalton finished in the top 10. Sophie Galleher and Katie Moravec finished 2-3 in the steeplechase as they both tackled the event for the first time this season. Caitlin would finish 3rd in the 800 with her best mark of the season, before helping the relay team to victory. In the same event, Molly Priedeman ran 2:225 while Hoiwan Cheung posted another solid run. Carly and Hannah both grabbed 4th place finishes in the 400 and 200 respectively before winning the relay. Mattie baker finished 5th and 7th in the 100 and 200, and also ran a leg on the runner-up 4x100 of herself, Amanda McGinn, Kat Loomis and Jenny Mancino. In the hurdles, the team had a 3-4-5 finish as Jennifer, Amanda and Kat ran - into a headwind for the 3rd meet in a row - posted their best marks so far. Angela Coombs and Lauren Benson racked up point sin the throwing events, with a 304 finish in the hammer and a great throw in the javelin by LB that netted her 3rd place.
Carlyle Eubank, stepping up to the 5k had the race of the day for the team as he followed the early pacesetter through 2 mile before taking over the leading and when passed in the last 200 by a Wesleyan runner, did not give in and in an exciting last 100m stretch run where both runners were side by side, he prevailed to get the win. John Babbott, in another thrilling homestretch battle, grabbed Little Three Champion honors in the 1500, and Robert Boley - runner-up last year in the Steeplechase, led form the first step of the race to win the event in his senior year. The final victory for the team came in the days final event, as the 4x400 relay team of Steve Stewart, Kit Callahan, Jack Kiley and Basile Beaty used the excitement of the crowd and Jack's 49.9 leg to finish the day in winning fashion. In the 800, basile and Jimmy Swanson finished 3-4, with both breaking 1:58, while Eric Glustrom led his section of the race from wire to wire and broke 2:00 for the first time, with Ben Klein and Ben Read both running well in his heat. In the 1500, behind Babbott's win, a lot of guys posted their best marks ever as Mike Harbus finished 9th in a fast time, while Nate Freese, Rom Cabeza, Daniel Murner and Tommy Anderson all posted fast times. Will Bell made his steeple debut, nearly breaking 10 minutes while finishing 2nd, while Joe Addison raced to a fast time to finished 4th. Steve finished 4th in the 400, with Kit Callahan, Tommy Moore - with a huge race - and Keith Pendergrass all finishing within a second of each other. The men's 4x100 relay of Geoff Stricsek, Tommy Moore, Steve Shashy and Kit finished 2nd overall. Steve Shashy, in addition to running the relay also kept himself busy scoring points in the throwing events where he placed 5th in both the jav and the discus, while also placing 6th in the shot put
