Dual County League

[clifbar]

This thread is for general discussion of the DCL, and belongs here instead of the High School General board.

[fastzoom9sam]

I agree, it should be in the NE catagory

[Dalau]

The attachment contains the original Dual County League thread.

[clifbar]

haha Dan, why can't you just link to it?

Back on topic, I read in the Newton Tab that we lost to both CC and LS:

The South boys track team opened up with an 81-64 loss to Lincoln-Sudbury and 102-43 setback to host Concord-Carlisle.

Winners for the Lions were seniors Peter Jarowey in the javelin (135 feet) and Matt Starr in the shot put (36-2) and junior Sy Schotz in the high jump (5-6). Starr also threw his discus PR of 111, good for first against L-S.

Sophomore Joe Treff placed second in the shot put at 38-10, senior Dan Lau was second in the mile in 4:55, sophomore Sam Donovan was second in the 2-mile in 10:27 and junior Nick Abele ran his 800 PR of 2:12.

Sophomore Brad Pruente showed his tremendous upside in the 300 hurdles, running 44 seconds in his debut.

[DEndurance27]

10:27 :(

yeah i blew

[Dalau]

positive self-talk, Sam, positive self talk. hehe. I'm in Philly and you're doing a workout. Did mine yesterday and now I get to go to the Penn track.

[stizz]

say hi to coach powell for me

[DEndurance27]

yea not too bad for a soph though

thanks,
but ive run 10:05 before so it was dissapointing.

next time... next time...

[clifbar]

Does anyone know if tomorrows Dual Meet is postponed because of the rain? I hope it is...

[stizz]

it will be on thursday if its too rainy

[Ecliptica]

Do you guys have a performance list or league leaders or anything from the league? I'd like to know how other leagues around MA are doing.

[clifbar]

it will be on thursday if its too rainy
So, when do we find out whether or not it's postponed...?

[heatripping]

its postponed, now.

[Dalau]

Stein ran 50.6 in the 400m, winning by 4 seconds. I didn't see it, but people said it was a nasty race.

[CCBriggs1609]

Burmeister told me about this thread, so I figure I'd get in.
First-I guess I dont know who you are, but clifbar is right about the skiing in the other thread, Fastzoom9sam. Being in the middle of an EMass ski league is not that impressive. We are the bad half of the worst state in New England. Trust me, nobody out of Mass. even respects Mass. States, not even second.
Also-I wanted to know if any of you knew who is racing mile for Westford and Wayland against us on Wednesday, or what times thier good milers have.
If you dont know me, I'm Matt Briggs from CC, my mile pr is 4:41

[Dan]

nice, some CC people in here. I didn't know burmeister knew about dyestat. did he find out from maxime?
anyways, Keller or Stein can both go under 4:41, and Stein can probably take on anyone from CC in the mile.

[CCBriggs1609]

Thanks for that
Does anyone know anything about westford? I dont think they're distance is great-we swept them in XC. Anyways-We should try to keep league leader boards on here.
Heres what I know-Burmeister did 4:40 mile and 10:03 2 mile on thursday. He lost to Waters though, who did a 9:54
We have one other guy who did a 4:44-Matt Phillippo
For 800-Carpenito's fastest i think is 2:06, but he had no competition.

[Dalau]

League leaders?
heheh.

200m-some kid from Wayland
400m-50.6 Stein (Wayland)
800m- 1:55 Stein
Mile-4:25 Stein
2Mile-Burmeister?

[DEndurance27]

League leaders?
heheh.

200m-some kid from Wayland
400m-50.6 Stein (Wayland)
800m- 1:55 Stein
Mile-4:25 Stein
2Mile-Burmeister?


no, 2 mile - Waters 9:54


to briggs: yo what up, i met you at class bs

[clifbar]

Judging from Saturday's relay results, you may want to watch out for both Steins (Brett ran a 2:03 and a 4:48).

[CCBriggs1609]

How fast is Keller-I heard hes pretty good, but i have no real number. 4:40? 4:35? 4:30? If anyone knows, just tell me, but i guess i'll find out tomorrow either way.

[Dan]

How fast is Keller-I heard hes pretty good, but i have no real number. 4:40? 4:35? 4:30? If anyone knows, just tell me, but i guess i'll find out tomorrow either way.
He's you minus 2 seconds. Actually, Keller ran a 4:38.8 at DCLs last year. If he doesn't run the mile, then Stizz might. Stizz runs a 4:25.

[CCBriggs1609]

At the Wayland/Westford/CC meet today-
Burmeister won the mile in 4:36, I was second in 4:40. Some guy from westford got third with a big PR. Keller was nowhere even close, little stein beat him with a 4:48
Phillippo won 2 mile in a slow 2:22.
Stein ran 1:59, Carpenito second in 2:05
Last thing I heard was Wayland beat us by one point in the meet.

[tayls24]

Where are all the seniors in the league going next year and are they running? I'm going to Haverford and will definately be running all three seasons.

[stizz]

haha, so the C-C guys have finally discovered dyestat.
Taylor, you know where I'm goin, we chatted to today. Hopefully more dcl members can get on board and make this a pretty good thread.

[Ecliptica]

Where are all the seniors in the league going next year and are they running? I'm going to Haverford and will definately be running all three seasons.

Are you the girl I always saw at Reggie Lewis in the winter wearing a Haverford sweatshirt? I almost applied there, but decided that I didn't want to run DIII if I got in.

EDIT: If you're not a girl, disregard the question.

[tayls24]

No, I'm not a girl, I'm the Taylor Burmeister. Also, there's no shame in DIII, especially a sick DIII team like Haverford (4th at NCAAs in XC). It's better than running at some DI school where the coach just ignores you if you're not on of the top guys and you stand no chance of ever winning any races.

[BeantownMiler]

I'm starting to like this thread.

[Crouching tiger]

Phillippo won 2 mile in a slow 2:22.


:eek:

[tayls24]

Phillippo's deuce was 10:22.

[Ecliptica]

No, I'm not a girl, I'm the Taylor Burmeister. Also, there's no shame in DIII, especially a sick DIII team like Haverford (4th at NCAAs in XC). It's better than running at some DI school where the coach just ignores you if you're not on of the top guys and you stand no chance of ever winning any races.

Oh snap, the Taylor Burmeister? I thought he was just a myth.
In any case, there's a girl from Massachusetts that wears a Haverford sweatshirt, I assume she'll be going there and running also.

[CCBriggs1609]

Phillippo won 2 mile in a slow 2:22.


I only wrote that because I'm dumb, the 2:22 was a fast 2 mile

[clifbar]

Stein ran 1:59,

I'm guessing that's Mike...

Also, any idea how fast Westford's milers are? We're up against them and Bedford next Wednesday.

[CCBriggs1609]

I'm guessing that's Mike...

Also, any idea how fast Westford's milers are? We're up against them and Bedford next Wednesday.

Yeah that is Mike.
Westford was pretty solid as a team. We beat them by only 2 points. Their miler was third-I think he ran a huge PR around 4:45. He beat Keller and Little stein.

[heatripping]

who was that amazing 400 runner guy that completely kicked @ss at CC westford/wayland on wed,

[clifbar]

who was that amazing 400 runner guy that completely kicked @ss at CC westford/wayland on wed,
Well, at the NS/Weston/Wayland meet Stizz kicked some very serious ass in the 400...

[stizz]

Well, at the NS/Weston/Wayland meet Stizz kicked some very serious ass in the 400...
i didnt do the 400 at the cc/westford meet, i think she's referring to sean mccusker. he ran a pretty decent time-51.3.

[DEndurance27]

At the Wayland/Westford/CC meet today-
Burmeister won the mile in 4:36, I was second in 4:40. Some guy from westford got third with a big PR.


Is that Some Guy from westford, Flanders?
if so what did he run?

and does anyone know how hes doin?

[Dalau]

How are the WA and Bedford 800 runners too? I know one of them runs a 2:10ish. He's the tall kid with sunken in eyes that makes him look like a dead man or a ghost. Is there anyone faster than that besides Flanders?

[polyxc]

Well, at the NS/Weston/Wayland meet Stizz kicked some very serious ass in the 400...What time?

[stizz]

What time?
50.6 or 50.1, depends on which newspaper you read. I'm not sure, but it was one of the two. Second place ran like 54.x

[DEndurance27]

When are you gonna run the 800 mike?

[Dalau]

When are you gonna run the 800 mike?
Hartford Public High School Invitational?

[CCBriggs1609]

DCLs one week from today
Has anyone run faster than 2:03 in the DCL this year besides Stein? Thats what I ran today and it was my first time running the 800, so Im trying to see what the DCL looks like for that event.

[stizz]

DCLs one week from today
Has anyone run faster than 2:03 in the DCL this year besides Stein? Thats what I ran today and it was my first time running the 800, so Im trying to see what the DCL looks like for that event.
Andrew Smith ran 1:59 last week with no comp. Keller ran 2:03 today after the hurdles in the heat, right behind smith

[Dalau]

some times from the NS/WA/Bed meet:

400-50.x McCuster (sp?), 52.x Maxime (off of no training since XC)
800-2:03 Waters
Mile-4:40ish for Flanders (WA)
I ran 53 high according to two people, but it didn't feel as fast as 53high

[CCBriggs1609]

CC is going to bring the A game, which as we saw last year, is pretty much untouchable. We've got stacked deuce, Mile, 800, and 4x800
3 days to go

[DEndurance27]

Andrew Smith ran 1:59 last week with no comp. Keller ran 2:03 today after the hurdles in the heat, right behind smith

Andover Invitational:

All from LS:
Jennings ran a 1:58 800
Smith ran a 2:01
MacNeil ran a 4:32 mile. (beast,He's a Sophomore like me)

I ran 10:08 for the 2 mile,
Westford's Keith Flanders ran a 10:04.


DCL championships is gonna be stacked

[clifbar]

Well, one thing's for sure - Concord Carlisle's definitely not cocky.

[stizz]

CC is going to bring the A game, which as we saw last year, is pretty much untouchable. We've got stacked deuce, Mile, 800, and 4x800

lol buddy this aint xc anymore.

[CCBriggs1609]

lol buddy this aint xc anymore.

Im talking track 04, but thanks

[Dalau]

Haha. Sam, you're no longer the most clueless person I know. Sorry Briggs.

[clifbar]

Haha. Sam, you're no longer the most clueless person I know. Sorry Briggs.
I would've thought that was me when I first joined Dyestat, but not anymore...

[DEndurance27]

There are 5 guys sub 10:10.
This is going to be a sweet 2 mile.

The winning time indoors was 10:16

[CCBriggs1609]

This meet is going to be really tight-especially if the CC Westford Wayland meet is an indication. Wayland won by 1 over us and we beat Westford by 2. Everything will matter.

[DEndurance27]

Watch it come down to the 4x4


Id put money on Westford.

[Dalau]

Yea, Westford will most likely have the best 4x400 (sub 3:30?), so they'll take the title if it comes down to the 4x400.

[tayls24]

Yeah, we pwned the 4X400. That was ridiculous.

[CCBriggs1609]

128-99-83, Wayland CC Westford.
Not as close as I had thought I guess.

[stizz]

128-99-83, Wayland CC Westford.
Not as close as I had thought I guess.
The day we faced CC, literally everything that could have gone wrong did. That's probably why it seemed the meet would have been closer than it was. CC still ran well today, a lot of good performances on your end. But we decided to bring our A game today as well.

Thanks to everyone in the DCL for all the great memories. Good luck to everybody in the future.

[CCBriggs1609]

Yeah, well done everyone. I guess I was just cocky. My bad, but yeah, the meet was sick, as was today's meet

Good job everyone.
Wish I didnt injure myself in that 2 mile, but im happy with 3rd.

[AgentSmith]

So i finally joined stein. (This is Andrew Smith by the way) And DCLs were pretty good, some solid races.

[stizz]

wat up smith, good to see you finally made it

[DEndurance27]

Yo, my boy DL busted out an ill 2:02.7 at the WEston Twilight Invitational and took home Gold [after PWNing Joe Carpenito] !! <----that was dalau

[clifbar]

We're just a few short months away from XC, I think it's time to get this going again.

[clifbar]

Alright, since no one else responded I'll get the DCL talk going again.

Yesterday me and another kid from NSHS ran the Bay State Games metro qualifier at Harvard. Neither of us did too well, especially me, but we weren't the only DCL kids there.
We ran into Robert Deegan and a bunch of his friends, and I actually raced Robert (he beat me by about 4 seconds in the mile) and one of his teammates beat my friend by about 2 seconds in the 800.
Another kid on my team did shot and discus yesterday, and I'm pretty sure he won the shot.

[TheGeneral]

Clif, what guys does ns have returning for xc?

[300kicks]

50 Wehrwein, Scott 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 17:56.72 49
84 Finch, Kelton 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 18:43.71 80
94 Olson, Brenden 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 18:51.84 88
100 Donovan, Sam 10 NEWTON SOUTH HS 19:03.44 93
111 Schwatz, Lucas 10 NEWTON SOUTH HS 19:14.11 104
117 Lopatin, Jon 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 19:22.54
6 out of 7 return

[clifbar]

Yah, our team captain was injured his senior year (he ran a 16:45 his junior year) and so the only kid that made a difference in XC '04 that graduated was Dalau.
Also, it's semi-likely that the last kid (Jon Lopatin) won't do XC; that's at least what he's been saying.

Our line-up should look something like this:
1-2 - Sam Donovan or Scott Wehrwein (both likely to be under 17)
3-5 - Kelton Finch, Brenden Olsen, Nick Abele (they could range anywhere from probably low 17's to mid 17's)

And there's probably going to be a close battle for spots 6-7 between me, Lucas Schwartz, another soph that I'm pretty close to now named David Plotkin, and Kelton Finch's brother Ben, who this year as an 8th grader ran 5:12.

[clifbar]

TheGeneral, where do you go to school?

[TheGeneral]

Im from lincoln-sudbury

[clifbar]

Oh nice, how's your team looking?

[TheGeneral]

from the looks of it right now we look pretty sick. Were only losing two from our top 7, and hopefully ill run a lot better this year, we have some sick lower class guys

looks to be a fun season.

[Dalau]

TheGeneral, who are you?

who ran the 800m and who threw the shot from south at the bay state games?

The meet organizer got me into the 3000m:eek: , because it was the only event that wasn't filled yet.


Cliff, I bet Nick will be a sub-17 runner next year, as long as he doesn't get injured. He's go thte determination to do it. He's my pick for 110%, even tho it's so early, b/c I just know he'll put his best effort into every workout and race. Kelton should be sub-17 also. I'm expecting good results next year.

[TheGeneral]

What up, dalau, its carl jewell. hopefully ill take my decent spring season and translate it into a sick xc season.

[DEndurance27]

50 Wehrwein, Scott 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 17:56.72 49
84 Finch, Kelton 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 18:43.71 80
94 Olson, Brenden 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 18:51.84 88
100 Donovan, Sam 10 NEWTON SOUTH HS 19:03.44 93
111 Schwatz, Lucas 10 NEWTON SOUTH HS 19:14.11 104
117 Lopatin, Jon 11 NEWTON SOUTH HS 19:22.54
6 out of 7 return


hahahahaha. Yes I did run a 19:03 in that snow of EMASS.

I got injured at our league meet and took a week off and with 2 days of training I ran EMASS.
twas painfull.

This year I have high expectations,
I want to go sub 16:30

Edit: btw dalau, Joe Treff threw shot,David Plotkin ran the 800, and Cliff ran the mile at the Bay state games.

[Dalau]

hey hey! what up Jewell!! kick some @$$ in xc! 2:03.xx is good as a sophomore. nice job. hopefully you'll improve more than Smith did soph-jr year. :p

[clifbar]

Interesting post DL...

[TheGeneral]

are there any franklin park races this summer? can you just go to franklin park and run there, like is it open all the time?

[clifbar]

If you went there and just started running the course, I doubt anybody would really do too much. But that would be sweet if there were races there over the summer.

[AzN at LARGE]

Isn't Franklin Park just a public park? Which would be open to everyone at any reasonable time?

[TheGeneral]

i have absolutely no idea. If it is, then that is pretty sweet.

[BeantownMiler]

are there any franklin park races this summer? can you just go to franklin park and run there, like is it open all the time?

Franklin Park is always open since it is public. I run there everyday but white stadium is only oopen from 10 to 5pm. Oh yea by the way, white stadium just got a new running surface.

[300kicks]

White Stadium resurfacing sounds great, how many lanes around 6? straightaways?

[BeantownMiler]

only 6 lanes for both.

[TheGeneral]

beantown miler who are you

[BeantownMiler]

beantown miler who are you

i am a miler from boston public

[hebrewhammer]

It would be awesome to have like the DCL Outdoor Championships at White Stadium.

[TheGeneral]

yeah thatd be pretty sweet. I actually kind of like the wayland track too tho, ive never seen the inside of white stadium. . .

[BeantownMiler]

It would be awesome to have like the DCL Outdoor Championships at White Stadium.

sorry WS is reserved for Boston City League Championships only :D . plus we're like 12 schools and thats the only track we use for meets.

+ Ruben Sanca and his Boston team last fall.

[BeantownMiler]

Dalau i guess we never counted as a real team. we just ran with the DCL people whenever we could because we never had any official meets for the city of boston.

It's really sad, big city, 12 schools, 12 football teams with players that get benched in every game and 0 xc teams.

[polyxc]

Wow, With all the great running history that Boston has, and no cross country teams in the City of Boston?

Does that mean that the City doesn't pay for teams and coaches, or no kids are interested in cross country?

[Dalau]

Boston Latin has a real team, but the good runners are coached privately, and word has it that the school coach is terrible.

[sit_kick]

all i know is the bedford coach is really goofy looking and always has crazy skimpy runing outfits on at meets. and you are like wow wat a dbag.


and then u see he drives a red BMW and realize at this point he is better than u at life and then u go shoot urself

[polyxc]

Why don't the other Boston high schools have cross country teams?

[hebrewhammer]

A few DCL and ex-DCL athletes participated in the Bay State Games:
800:
10 172 Plotkin, David Newton Highlands, M 2:19.91
-He told me he ran a pretty bad race, and actually PRed in the 400 during the first half, but ran a horribly slow second 400.
1 278 McGrail, Wilson Wayland, MA 2:10.25
-This kid ran the Junior 800. I dunno how old he is, but he's definitely talented, and I'm assuming he'll go to Wayland High.

Shot:
5 188 Treff, Joe Newton, MA 40-06.75 12.36m
Discus:
4 133 Ivanov, Alex Carlisle, MA 123-07 37.66m
6 188 Treff, Joe Newton, MA 109-06 33.37m
Javelin:
1 155 McGuire, Seamus Weston, MA 175-00 53.34m
10 133 Ivanov, Alex Carlisle, MA 133-00 40.53m

3k:
4 925 Lau, Dan Waban, MA 10:47.13
6 111 Deegan, Robert Dorchester, MA 11:35.92

Mile:
12 111 Deegan, Robert Dorchester, MA 6:04.88

[BeantownMiler]

Why don't the other Boston high schools have cross country teams?

lack of interest by coaches and athletes

[Dan]

eh, bad time for me, but it was decent, considering that I had only run twice in the two weeks before the race. The rest of the days were spent biking 20-30 miles a day. If I was in xc shape, then I might have been able to run a sub 10.

[TheGeneral]

whats with deegan?

[Dan]

he only ran 5 times since DCLs.

[TheGeneral]

word.

[hebrewhammer]

bad excuse

[Dalau]

he told me before the race, so it's more like a disclaimer.

[TheGeneral]

hebrewhammer, who are you? unless your deegan, i think that having not run in a long time is a pretty good excuse for running a slow time. However, that also brings up the question why they were racing without being ready.

[hebrewhammer]

I can't say who I am, but what I mean to say is that he should have ran more than 5 times; unless there's a reason other than just slacking he should have ran more than that.

Comm. ave/ heartbreak hill jaunt on wednesday.

this will probably be some of the LS kids according to carl jewell.
But I've got Zachary del nero to come down also.

if youve got a ride come down,
were meetin up at mi casa, then headin there and running around 6:00

[TheGeneral]

yeah from the looks of it, weve got 4-5 guys from l-s coming out to run at comm ave, should be a good time

[chrisdiaz16]

Any dcl xc teams going to Foss running camp?

ab is going the second week

[DEndurance27]

Any dcl xc teams going to Foss running camp?

ab is going the second week

South isnt going

maybe LS or CC?

[sit_kick]

i heard the entire CC team was shooting a gay porn in the middle of august

[Ninja]

So anyone know of any exeptional upcoming freshman, both xc and track?

[Dan]

Ben Finch, who will be running for NS. He ran a 5:08 or 5:12 mile as a frosh, and Barnicle says he will be good, so that must mean he'll be good. :p

[TheGeneral]

i dont really think that any team should be talking much trash right now, theres no team thats completely dominant anymore. and anyway, who are you slick?

[Ninja]

haha im the person who is gonna win the DCL title

we still don't know who you are.........

[sit_kick]

haha im the person who is gonna win the DCL title
cool, now do you have the balls to say who you are? because in the results its not gonna say "slick 11"

[TheGeneral]

last time i checked, only one cc guy was winning any dcl titles. . .and the taylor burmeister is gone.

[stizz]

screw you guys, im winning DCLs this year

[TheGeneral]

haha, stizz is back

[stizz]

and sit kick dont question if i got the balls to say my name, ur the one who never responded what school u were from or who ur name was
yo Lania. even if you win the dcl title, you wanna win it with class? turn it down a notch buddy.

[LSXC06]

i love carl jewell - enough said

[TheGeneral]

jon cordo is a rather beastly man himself. Gonna be hard to stop in xc everyone, he runs tough.

[stizz]

Lania was 4th at the 2004 dcl xc champs, and is the number 2 returnee behind del nero. so he has as good as shot as anybody. del nero seemed to drop down in distance this past spring, so lets see if he gets his distance back up and can be a favorite for the title. i dont really know what Lania did during track, but things do change in a year. if mike waters decides to run xc, i would consider him to have as much a shot as anybody else. also noah macneil is greatly improved and threw down some good track times, so he should be a contender along with andrew smith. and of course sam donovan from newton south could beat any of these guys on any given day. so Lania, it's a bold statement to say you are going to win, but you've definitely got a great shot at it.

good luck to all.

[TheGeneral]

didnt waters graduate last year?

and i also think that this year, theres no real favorite to win, as there are probably a good 8-10 guys who could step up and have a monster season. we will have it all settled in 3 months.

[DEndurance27]

i love carl jewell - enough said


not as much as I do

edit: and yes waters graduated

and i dont know why anyone is arguing, Clifbar is the to be DcL champ

but on a serious note, I think the LS team could be a dominant figure in the state level. theyve got a bunch of good runners returning.

[TheGeneral]

i think that newton south, cc, and ls will all have very strong teams, and it will be interesting to see if they will all be able to compete on the state level.

[Dalau]

Kelton Finch is gonna be the DCL champ. There's no doubt about it! He's even got a nasty grandma-looking kick at the end.

[LSXC06]

stein, pick on someone ur own size. ur in college man gettin boy band ass. no need to pick on lania and the bedford coach (who is the man)

and who cares about the individual dcl champ, lsxc will represent this year on top (hate it or love it)

[DEndurance27]

alright guys.
chill out, this is no place for trash talkin.

Lsxc06,
we already know that LS will be a dominant team this year,
I even said so previously.
No need to start showing off, that can decrease other peoples opinions.
theres no doubt you guys will be good.

Like Ricky said, show your stuff on the field not on the chat rooms.



But this is gonna be a hella tight year. So many candidates on the top level, lets not get too cocky just yet.
and anyone know what happened to Robert Deegan?

[stizz]

stein, pick on someone ur own size. ur in college man gettin boy band ass. no need to pick on lania and the bedford coach (who is the man)

and who cares about the individual dcl champ, lsxc will represent this year on top (hate it or love it)
bedord coach? when did i say anything about him? i dont even kno wat ur talkin about.

and im not picking on lania...i presented an objective outlook on the season, and wished him luck.

and i aint college yet. ive already decided once i leave for philly im done with dyestat.

i have no desire to pick on younger dcl kids.

i dont kno who u are, but i wish you and the rest of the LSXC team the best of luck as well. but maybe grow a thicker skin before the season starts. it'll do you good. if you have anything else you wanna get off your chest to me, ask your team captain and leader andrew smith for my screename. maybe i can find some time for you while im not out gettin boy band ass (whatever that means)

[LSXC06]

aight, big guy, i thought u were big stein, not little stein. and second of all, i wasnt braggin about lsxc next year, i was just stating what everyone else was saying. third of all, i dont talk to andrew smith

[AgentSmith]

hahaha lania, that song is ridiculous, did people from your school make it? also, im looking forward to the cross country season, good times and rough times await.

AgentSmith its actually my cousin that made that song. U gotta get some girls to listen to it, its hilarious to see their faces.

yo that is one sick song ricky.

[AgentSmith]

hahaha yeah, i'll keep that in mind ricky. my friend and i made a rap, which is pretty badass. not quite as hardcore as that, but funny just the same.

[DEndurance27]

Just wondering,

have any of you guys been like working out hard yet?
Im just like getting my runs up like im at like 48 miles pw
i havent started working out yet

[DEndurance27]

Yeah i heard deegan hasnt run most of the summer, considering he ran 11 something for two miles and didnt break five in the mile. He seems to have streaks where he runs incredibly well, and then runs ice cold.

hey dudes, hope summers goin well

im on dyestat for the first time this summer

just read thru the last month or so of stuff and all i gotta say is that theres a few disappointing posts

a few thoughts:

1) yea winning is crazy fun, but its not why we do xc

2) were all friends, and trash talking and xc should never mix, ever

3) the beauty of xc is that its unpredictable, just remember that nothing, is ever, ever a given in a race, and anything can happen, anyone can win, so never pick favorites


happy summer, be seeing you all soon @ franklin

well said zack,

dudde you should come down to newton sometime for a fun run :D

[TheGeneral]

Today i did my first workout of the summer, a 5k tempo and then like 8 or so faster intervals at this camp im going to. Its nice, im keepin under control, but its a great change of pace from just logging miles. cant wait for the season to get under way.

[ccCoogan07]

What's up DCL, I just got an account with dyestat, even though I've been following the thread since the beginning of the summer. It's great that everyone seems ready to compete--I know I am.

LS, If you're running on Saturday, I'd like to run with you guys--Ricky said he's run with you a few times and I think it'd be cool to check in before the season starts. Is that ok?

[Ninja]

As far as I know anyone in the DCL who's deticated to XC can come along. Be there at 10. Then again, our captains practices start monday so idk if its still gonna be open for other runners. (I'm not exactly the team captain if you know what I mean)

[LSXC06]

ya coogan, hit it up next saturday at ten. all are welcome

[DEndurance27]

I ran at franklin park yesterday.

the grass is long and theres less dirt/sand going down the hill so kids might roll their ankles.

Besides that it looks ready for some tearin' up.

[ccCoogan07]

cant come saturday, we have practice

Its a cross country relay meet
Pretty sick, its at the reebok center in canton.

I thought they weren't having that meet this year. When is it?

[DEndurance27]

I thought they weren't having that meet this year. When is it?

You're right.

I think the reebok center in canton was bought by another company.
And so there might not be a race anymore. :(

[LSXC06]

lania, there was nothing wrong with what u said. a little trash talking never hurt anyone. all u got to do is back it up (if you dont, everyone will laugh at u). it makes the league more intense and competitive. what would we do without TO, muhammad ali, or fred ex (freddie mitchell)?

[TheGeneral]

anyone know the master schedule for xc tri meets this year?

[chrisdiaz16]

heres wat we know so far--if people from a couple other schools add on what they know we could make a master schedule

9/14: ab/ls/wayland @ wayland
9/21: ab/ns @ ab
9/28: ab/cc @ cc
10/5: ab/bl/weston @ ab

[Cold Springs Pwner]

On 9/10 I think there's gonna be a DCL XC Relay meet (coed 4x3k) at Newton South, but I think there's only gonna be about 3 teams there this year.

[clifbar]

Yah, the relay meet was this morning, just NSHS and CC. CC was looking pretty good, and it'll certainly be close when we have our dual meet against them.

[DEndurance27]

NS vs. Westford @ NS on tuesday

LS vs. Wayland and AB at home Wednesday

[clifbar]

NS vs. Westford @ NS on tuesday
Yah, the meet happened (Wednesday). It went pretty well, and we ended up winning (I'm not sure by how much) with out our #2 guy. Also, the guy that ended up 5th for our team had been out for a few weeks with a hip injury, and is just starting to get back in shape.
Westford had some kids in better shape than we expected, but I'm not sure who they were.
I'm not too sure about results, other than that Sam won.
LS vs. Wayland and AB at home Wednesday
How'd that go?

[TheGeneral]

L-s wins both, noah and cordo take 1-2, then delnero and lil stein 3-4, then mostly l-s guys with a couple others mixed in. very hot day, slow times all around

Wow, must have been a good race.

yeah it was definatly a hot day.
Westford had two surprises,taking 2-3. One, a sophomore by the name of marc boutin I think ran 16:27 for our 2.95 course
I ran 16:07.
(Del, if you see this thats the same time you ran at our course when you dominated us last year. How goofy is that?)

Hopefully the results of our Dual meets will be posted soon on the DCL page.
For those who dont know it, its the same as last year.

Anyhow, who's got reults from today's meets?

3 Miles NS 19 AB 40
1. Sam Donovan, NS, 16:41
2. Scott Wherwein, NS, 17:04
3. Zach Del Nero, AB, 17:06

9. Teddy ______, AB 17:44
10. Keon Reed, AB 17:45
11. Brenden Olson, NS 17:49

That's as much as i remember of the boys meet.
The girls meet was won by our freshman sensation Kelsea Karys in 19:45; she seems like she's probably going to be evne (perhaps significantly) better than Kate Warwick of AB was last year, even though it is early

Yah, he's been doing some really intense training. If I remember correctly, he had one week of 79 miles, where one of the days was only 2 miles. Basically thats like 13 miles a day without an off day, or 15.5 miles a day with one day of rest.

[TheGeneral]

haha, you dont remember correctly, it was like 60 miles, still a lot more than in high school, but you need to at that or more to be competitive in college. its the next logical step.

What happened at DCLs Lania? Your head weigh you down?

[ccCoogan07]

What happened at DCLs Lania? Your head weigh you down?

A lot of people talked trash over the summer who didn't back it up, and 2nd in the DCL is pretty damn good. Chances are Lania is faster than you, mJs, whoever you are, so shut the hell up.

[Oregon Champs]

What happened at DCLs Lania? Your head weigh you down?

Ricky is a good kid and I know that he regrets his summer post. He has no problem with his head at this point either in terms of ego or performance. He has done a great job of leading this CC team back to being a contender. He went for it early in the race today and hung on to run a very tough race. If Donovan had not improved so much he would indeed have been the DCL champion. Ricky showed a lot of grit today. So forget his past comment that he wishes that he could take back. He is doing a great job and I for one admire what he is doing. CC you are coming on strong! Go take D II by storm.

[TheGeneral]

no one should be talking trash after those races today, there were a lot of people gutting it out, some had good days, and bad days, but i thought the whole event was a pretty awesome time. congrats to everyone.

[mJs149]

A lot of people talked trash over the summer who didn't back it up, and 2nd in the DCL is pretty damn good. Chances are Lania is faster than you, mJs, whoever you are, so shut the hell up.
nope, on all cases.

[ccCoogan07]

nope, on all cases.

If you are faster than Lania, prove it. Who are you? It's a pussy move to follow other leagues' races, hide behind a name like mJs149, and take cheap shots at people like Ricky who worked hard all year for the championship race.

[Cold Springs Pwner]

He's not in a different league, and he's not really hiding.

But I think we should stop arguing. I think for the most part, everyone ran well on Saturday, and it was a damn close race, and congratulations to everyone.

If you are faster than Lania, prove it. Who are you? It's a pussy move to follow other leagues' races, hide behind a name like mJs149, and take cheap shots at people like Ricky who worked hard all year for the championship race.

amen.

Everybody should respect the hard work and dedication other people put.
That is the true beauty of cross country

Who are you? His publicist?

And it's not a cheap shot. It's a call-out.

Don't turn a call out into the bashing of anyone's training. I'm sure Lania worked very hard.

Listen, this is getting a little silly and not very productive. Do us all a favor and respond directly to their email and let us get back to celebrating a great DCL meet.
The DCL meet was a great event in very difficult conditions. Let's get back to the guts that the entire league put on display. Great job everyone!

mJs,
I know who you are and I am not impressed with your postings. You can reply to me in person.

[Sizzlexc]

Anyone racing at the coaches invitational?

[TheGeneral]

Carl Jewell will be there.

[Sizzlexc]

Carl Jewell will be there.
:D :D :D :D

[clifbar]

I'd like to congratulate the rest of the DCL on their good jobs yesterday at EMass, especially Concord-Carlisle and Weston on qualifying for the all-state meet.
But, for the rest of us, I think it's about time we started our discussion of DCL Indoor Track.

[Dalau]

for the rest of us, I think it's about time we started our discussion of DCL Indoor Track.
I'll be there.........






..........As Coach Dalau :D

[chrisdiaz16]

So...less than three weeks until the first league meet...how're everyone's teams looking?

are other teams planning on running in coach's invitatational? (its the day after a dual meet)--both our boys and girls coaches are still on the fence

anyone wanna share goals?
i'm hoping for like 2:48, 2:49 for 1000

oh, and for those of you who dont know me, i'm a soph from AB

[clifbar]

What are all the match ups on December 19? We're going against Lincoln-Sudbury and Boston Latin.

[tayls24]

Yeah, I was dicking around on the internet and I remembered that I hadn't looked at dyestat in a while, so I thought I'd check out the New England board, and what d'ya know? The DCL thread is right there. Anyway, nice to read up on all the commentary on the season. I miss the DCL, though the Centennial Conference is treating me all right. In case you're all wondering, I'm running for the mighty Haverford College - Go Goats! Anyway, great school for running - let me know if any of you DCL boys are looking at it. I'll be back for a month from mid Dec. to mid Jan., training with my boys at CC, and I might help coach them back to victory, though mainly I plan to dick around and train with them at practice and then look all official like at meets. Yeah, sorry this post got so long.

-Last years DCL champion (OK living in the past!)

[clifbar]

Are you gonna go to any indoor meets?

[mJs149]

-Last years DCL champion (OK living in the past!)

How are things over at Haverford, Taylor? How'd xc go?

Well, I too was dicking around on the internet, and I realized I hadn't looked dyestat on a couple hours (yes, I have a life, but dyestat has become one of my 3 biggest procrastination tools in college along with facebook and letsrun), so I thought I'd check the New England board for the 4th time today, and what do ya know, the DCL thread is conveniently up top. I liked Taylor's alumni update so I guess I'll do the same.
I'm runnin for the U of P, and we kick things off on the 10th over at Princeton. After that it's hell week with finals and whatnot, then I'll be arriving back home in Wayland on the 22nd. I won't be training with my boys from Wtown, thought I'll definitely stop by a few practices, but if anybody has a Reggie Lewis pass they wanna lend me that'd be great, because there's no way I'm touching our crappy indoor track for a speed workout. I go back to school the 5th, so I doubt I'll catch any meets over winter break, which is unfortunate, because I definitely wanted to have the opportunity to reply to Oregon Champs in person, and be reminded that he was faster than me in high school (just kidddinggg Mr McC ;)). Hopefully I can make it to atleast one dual meet, so I can buy Mr. Lania a jelly donut as a token of my amends. After that I want to hit up the nearest chinese food place with Dalau and then give Clifbar a haircut.

As I've learned, many people beyond my knowledgable grasp read this stuff, so if you are out there, and you are kind of fast (or want to get me into Reggie), hit me up so we can do some workouts over break.

Sorry this post got so long, but I hate studying my spanish test tomorrow.

-Last year's Indoor and Outdoor DCL Champion

[TheGeneral]

stein are you gonna check out any of the bu mini meets over break? also i dont think lania is doing indoor, isnt he a baller over the winter?

[tayls24]

I plan on making it to some DCL indoor meets - should be interesting to see CC competing in its inaugural indoor season. How's UPenn treating you Stein? I hear they really pound the miles over there.

Who from the CC cross-country team has come out for indoor?

[Sizzlexc]

hahahah sorry mike but dan might be a little busy doing his important coaching buisness.
but yeah as of now clifbar is still blonde....

[ccCoogan07]

Who from the CC cross-country team has come out for indoor?

Yeah, Ricky plays basketball, and I'm not doing indoor (cross-country skiing--I hope I'm not too behind for outdoor), so for our heavy hitters it'll be Dan Fidler (mile) and Roy Bondurant (300/600?). Besides that, we have a couple guys doing the 2 mile (Ian Carr, Matt Knight), and a few other guys doing some other events. It seems like it'll be another interesting year in the distance events for both indoor and outdoor.

Get ready for another Class B 4xMile :D <3 losing a 10second lead, lol.

[clifbar]

Sounds like its gonna be an interesting first indoor season for you guys. You're gonna love Reggie Lewis. Not only is it a sweet track, but there's a Dunkin Donuts in the lobby and a Dominoes across the street (from where Dalau and I got pizza to eat while watching the 2-mile at the All-State meet).

[Dalau]

and a Dominoes across the street
and not to mention the time when Alex Rindler ate two slices of pizza and a box of breadsticks then came back and realized he had to run a 4x400 in 10 minutes. hahaha. ohh, that was a good time. :p

[clifbar]

You used to eat skittles before your races... and I remember we were in Wayland last year during the league championships, and you decided to eat a hot dog (or pizza, I forget which) before running the 4x800.
