The
Olympic Development Distance Medley Relay. |
Rich
Kenah runs the leadoff leg for the D.C. Enclave. |
The
Syracuse Chargers finished 3rd in 9:57.33. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| St.
Malachy's Old Boys of Ireland takes the lead. |
|
Three
of the four members of the St. Malachy's team were in high school
last year. |
The
Syracuse Chargers and D.C. Enclave battle for the lead. |
The
Shore Athletic Club finished 4th in 10:06.20. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Gareth
Turnbull of St. Malachy's got the baton a few meters behind
the leading Chargers... |
...But
Turnbull, well known for his european cross country success,
came from behind to earn St. Malachy's the win in 9:48.34. |
|
The
start of the Olympic Development steeplechase. L-R: Tim Hamill,
Mike DeGennaro, Tom Chorny, Darin Shearer and Jose Miranda. |
Tim
Broe, coming off an excellent winter, opened his outdoor
track season here. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| DeGennaro,
Broe and Miranda go over the water jump in sync. |
Sean
Mick of the Haddonfield Running Company finished 9th in 9:11.00. |
Chorney
(4th, 8:42.47) leads but Broe would win the closely-contested
race in 8:39.05. |
Better
known as a miler, Erik Nedeau is trying his hand at the steeple
this season. He finished 6th in 8:55.18. |
The
start of the higly anticipated Olympic Development 5,000, featuring
high schooler Dathan Ritzenhein. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Anthony
Famiglietti (#50), Musa Gwanzura (#8) and Thomas Omwenga take
the lead. |
Ritzenhein
joins the leaders. His possible targets in this race included
the national high school record (13:44) and the USATF National
qualifying standard (13:51.50). |
When
Alan Webb broke 4:00 indoors this winter, he had faster runners
dragging him along. Unfortunately for Ritz, he was one of the
ones doing the dragging here. |
Better
known as a miler, Dan Wilson stepped up the distance here and
finished 12th in 14:28.24. |
Brian
Clas of the NYAC finished 9th in 14:22.03. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Terrance
Armstrong finished 19th in 14:38.15. |
We
have no doubt that Ritz could break Gerry Lindgren's 37-year-old
high school record, this just wasn't the race in which to do
it. His 13:51.69 (2nd) here put him an agonizing .19 away from
the USATF qualifying standard. |
Carleton
Jones (#24, 14:37.36) and Brad Hunt (14:40.32). |
In
the end, Famiglietti won the race (13:47.64) but there was no
question as to who was the class of the field. Ritz's time,
by the way, would have won the previous evening's collegiate
5,000m by 5+ seconds. |
Omwenga
finished 4th in 14:03.66. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ricardo
Santos of the NYAC finished 8th in 14:18.45.
|
The
Olympic Development 10,000m. |
Mike
Mykytok finished 2nd in 30:07.95. |
Gabriel
Muchiri won the race by more than a minute in 29:01.51. |
Bryan
Dunn of Fila Discovery USA was 3rd in 30:32.25. |
