Let's start with an alumni update. Hakon DeVries ran the lead-off leg on Stanford's DMR at the NCAA D1 championships. The team finished 4th overall earning All-American honors. This is Hakon's second All-American ranking since being at Stanford. Hakon lead off with the 1200m leg in 2:55.81. He was followed by the 400m leg in 46.92, the 800m leg in 1:51.45 and the 1600m leg finished up in 4:00.36. Their total time was 9:34.03. During Hakon's senior year he anchored the John Jay DMR to an Indoor National Championship, which they ran in the fastest time in the country that indoor season with a time of 10:09.31. That time is also a New York State Indoor Record.
John Jay had some excellent performances at this years National Scholastic Indoor Championships. Karlie Dean led the way setting two school and county records. She ran the 200m dash in 25.73 seconds and the 400m dash in 59.26 seconds.
If you check the MHRRC web site there are some great pictures by Bob Kopac and Chris Walsh of the Ed Erichson 5 and 10 mile races. Bob uses the bib numbers to help him put names on as many pictures as possible.
It wasn't an easy day to run with the chilly temps and gusty winds. I ran the first mile with Art Boyko so I could get a mile split off his GPS watch. When we got the split I slowed down and he picked it up. Once he pulled away I was alone the rest of the race. No one in sight in front of me and no footsteps behind. It made for a good situation to practice staying focused and pushing the pace with the right effort. |
