Weekend Recap (January 25): DMR Madness

Our Distance Medley Relay (DMR) crew was out in full force at the George Mason Patriot Games. We ran split squads in order to bring our own competition and the women couldn't have been more evenly matched, as the A team ran 12:02.1, and the B team ran 12:03. Gina led off for the A team in 3:39, followed by Sarah Cook, who made an excellent GRC debut in 58.14. Jesse ran 2:15, and Liz T anchored the team to victory in 5:09. Jackie led off for the B team in 3:42, followed by Alex in 58.4, Angelina in 2:21.9, and Caroline in a very strong 5:00.3. Gina came back in the open 400 in 61.38.

The men's A team got the win in 10:25.62. Sam C led off in a very controlled 3:12.5, closing in 29 for the last 200, followed by Tom in 56.6, and Craig in 2:01.1. Dan Meteer made an outstanding GRC debut, anchoring the team to victory in 4:14.76. Dan is a 2018 Brown graduate, and he is going to be a great addition to our track and road crews. The B team was third in 10:37.31. Luk led off in 3:14.6, followed by Alex in an excellent 51.8, Daniel in 1:56.4, and Max, making his indoor debut, in 4:34. Daniel was a tad frustrated that his 800 leg was impeded, and he made up for it by winning the open mile in 4:22.37. After a pedestrian open 1200, Daniel kicked hard for the win, closing in 60 for the last 400.
