So who's competing this weekend? I understand that this meet is the largest of its kind in the country.

[dutchmafia]

Could someone explain how the seeds for the two mile are determined? Does anyone know wat the aproxamate cutoff time usually is?

[Dana]

Claire arthur for the thousand.

[Dana]

Claire arthur for the thousand and andrea keklack for the mile.

[dutchmafia]

theres a cutoff time for the seeded and unseeded races...in the program theres a two mile at the beginning and at the end...im wondering wat the time is to be in the seeded two mile

[clifbar]

theres a cutoff time for the seeded and unseeded races...in the program theres a two mile at the beginning and at the end...im wondering wat the time is to be in the seeded two mileI think my sophomore year I was seeded at 10:48 and made it into the early heat. I didn't run though because my knee was injured.
I think it's usually a little under 11:00.

[hahaitzchris]

i'm running the 1000 on sunday

anyone have seeds?

[CapeCodRunner92]

gregorek will win the mile, but greg krathwohl of ipswich might give him a run for his money

[MattF423]

[fxtrack07]

decent times for this early in the season

[hayesc]

1 1331 Bombaugh, Samuel 10 Falmouth 52-03.25 56-01.50* 17.10m


Daaaaaaaaaaaamn.

edit: that's a scary throw for a sophomore. With some work in the weight room and some more fine tuning of his release, etc. we could (don't quote me) possibly see 60 feet by senior year. That would be awesome.

[hahaitzchris]

2 mile times are really good

Are you joking? 56 feet in January sophomore year? If he hasn't thrown 60 feet by senior year he should kill himself.

That is an INCREDIBLE mark, IIRC that is around Chakouian's (sp) record in the small-school meet.

Edit: realized it was hayesc, of course you are joking. :o

[Führer]

Not very great times in the 1000 today. My sophomore there was Brett Sullivan winning in 2:38 and me in second in the 40's.

Then last year winner was Masse in the 40's.

What's going on this year?

i was wondering the same thing....i can't wait for them to put the video up so i can analyze the possiblities for the slwer times

[backofthepack]

Great race between Brookline's Brendan Grove and CM's Ed Colvin. Grove out kicked Colvin in the last 50 meters great race by both.

[dutchmafia]

tuohy-bedford and mcrae both ran smart races even though there times weren't spectacular it was still one of the best races of the day

NICE JOB!!!!

Fouled on a throw that was 59 and change. This isn't a joke! I've never seen anything like this!

[hayesc]

Wow, that's pretty special. Reppin' the Cape real hard right now.

So if he goes 60 this year indoor or outdoor... what the hell could his limits be? Maybe he will have to start throwing with a 16 to level the playing field.

[Führer]

Whats the state record in the shot?

[hayesc]

Whats the state record in the shot?

Meet Record: * 67-10.75 2000 Jeff Chakouian, Seekonk HS

Thats the state meet record. Could be a little better than that but I dont think Jeff threw much further than 68, correct?

[Smitty]

I wouldn't turn my back on Glavin just yet.

[Ecliptica]

Whats the state record in the shot?

63'11" indoors, Chakouian from 2000 nationals where he got 2nd place to Kevin Bookout's 65'7.75"

Right now his throw from today doesn't put him in the top 25 (that's as far as my list goes - cut off is 57'6.5") and I'd be surprised if he's in the top 35-40 or so. He's got a looooooong way to go.


EDIT: This is the first time I've looked at my all-time performance lists in a while and I'm really tempted to get working on it again. . .I've got a couple of free days before I go back to school where I have a lot of down time to do nothing but look at results.

[hahaitzchris]

idk....he hasn't competed all season
i was wondering what happened to him
never saw him in any of the hock league meets yet
hope to see him outdoors

[BOSTON26.2]

Great race between Brookline's Brendan Grove and CM's Ed Colvin. Grove out kicked Colvin in the last 50 meters great race by both. Great grind!!!! This meet is terrific for the underclassmen to go against each other. From the looks of it, there are more than a small handful that will be on the line and in the pits come all-states.
BTW....3,027 over two days. Biggest meet of its kind n the country. Massachusetts is a hot bed.....

The KID broke the meet record. And knowing Chakouian, he would be happier than anyone that the mark fell.
Go get a girlfriend and go to a movie you killjoy....no one SAID he would break the all-time mark.

What is your problem? Ecliptica was in no way posting as a "killjoy." The guy's done a lot of work compiling his lists and I, for one, am happy to hear him tell us how this mark compares to the best.

(I've noticed that your antagonizing posts seem to come in the wee hours of the morning. I suspect I know why. Smarten up!)

QFE you shouldn't take offense to so many posts. most of them are not meant to be offensive at all.

Well, you need to at least make it a top 30 so my 57-5.5 can get up there! :mad:

[NSHSDad]

Yup, the shot was a jaw-dropper, but another one was this guy from Andover, Chris McConnell in the dash.

Holy cow. In the prelims he ran a 6.51 (yes, FAT). That's the fastest time in the state this year.

In his heat, it was unblievable - he just kept pulling away and pulling away from the pack. It looked like two different races. Great start, and great top-end speed.

your gunning for that #1 self promotion spot

[Smitty]

your gunning for that #1 self promotion spot

No way man, Brookline's just too good! :rolleyes:

[c_Renz]

why are the 1k times so slow. i would have beaten everyone there by like 8 seconds. (soph)

[Smitty]

Could have been a very tactical race. Look at how all the times are bunched close together; probably came down to a sit and kick.

You've noticed it in the morning? Thats funny cause I usually notice it once a month for about 5 consecutive days. Doesn't matter what time of day it is.

For you, the biggest cookie you can imagine

For the rest of us, it's one of those mini chips ahoy that come in those tiny bags

[NSHSDad]

The splits in the early part of the 1000m were pretty slow. It looked like the runners were being very cautious - nervous about taking it out and hurting at the end.

I can't say what the runners were thinking - that's just what it looked like.

[Mrr82]

He's got a long time to move up that list as well. Not sure where this puts him all time for soph's in mass, but it has to be pretty high up there.

the first 4 went pretty fast...65 and lower
i ran ****ty race...went out too fast and paid the price at the end...didn't see the person comming on the last straight away...so i fell to 6th
thought i medaled by after my warm down i saw my time and it turns out that i was bumped off from medaling by someone in an earlier heat......it sucked...kinda felt like pre when he was watching other people walk off with his medal in munich

I think he's referring to the large schools race, if I'm not mistaken. It went out even slower than 64 in the 400. But, you're right, that 3:01 is alot like Pre's race in Munich! Just kidding, man, nice job.
