RACES
We had some excellent performances on the track this weekend. At Swarthmore last night, Hilary concluded her stellar GRC career with a strong race in the 1500. Hilary's 2014 season was limited by injury, but she gave it everything she had in every race she ran in a GRC singlet, and as her club records in the 1500, 3000, and 5000 prove, she made an indelible impact in her two years with the team. Despite much warmer than desirable conditions for a 5000, Dave Wertz ran 15:11 for a 5 second PR, and Paul Balmer ran 15:13, with a monstrous close in the final 200, for a 9 second PR. Considering that neither of them had raced on the track for a year, those were very impressive performances. Speaking of impressive, Cecilia placed second in the 800 at the American Track League meet in Charlotesville on Friday night. Competing against an invitation-only field, Cecilia showed her trademark closing speed, and while she was hoping to run faster than her 2:05.9, she has proven once again that she knows how to race, and she's ready to get the USATF A qualifier the next time out.
WORKOUT
We'll be at BCC tomorrow for the normal 7:15 start, so meet for the warmup at 6:30. It's going to be a small crew, so if you plan to come out, let me know, and we'll get you a customized workout.
