Paul Souza broke out a new suit to take the stage at the 2nd meet in the American Track League meet in Charlottesville VA. The weather kept the crowd down, but there were some fine performances again. (Podcast with Paul Here)
Now that's a suit. |
The Oregon Twilight Meet had at least 2 former Lions highlighted. Cas Loxsom laced up the spikes in the 800M while Bridget Franek stepped down in distance to the 1500M. (You can convert her 1500M time of 4:20.91 to the mile here.)
Women 1500M:
1 Lauren Johnson 4:16.97
2 Annie Leblanc 4:18.05
3 Aisha Praught 4:18.23
4 Alexi Pappas 4:20.26
5 Bridget Franek 4:20.91
Men 800M:
1 Harun Abda 1:47.33
2 Cas Loxsom 1:47.47
3 Tyler Mulder 1:48.76
4 Charles Jock 1:48.97
Tyler was 7th overall, 4th American. Nick Hitlon (Lock Haven grad, Life Back on Track Relay member) was 9th overall in 1:18:44.
ReplyDeleteAnd that may an Alumni Record for 25K (road). We actually don't have one so this may be it unless someone ran faster years ago?
ReplyDeleteSomeone ran 1:50 faster during a marathon. But without a certified clock, Tyler might have it unless James Carney has run faster.
ReplyDeleteSuch a rarely run distance. Only way would be if someone ran faster en route to a marathon. I have John Zeigler running a 30K in 1:32:17 in 1980. That would equate to ~1:17:00.
ReplyDeleteWhich conversion did you use for that?
ReplyDeleteMy head. So allow for a standard error of +/- 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteZiggy's 25k split would have been approx. 1:16:54, assuming even pacing.
ReplyDeleteThe best 25k split time by an alum was 1:16:05 in the 1985 NYC marathon.
Testing the comment policy is certainly permissible. Although splits don't count without appropriate timing arrangements. Even without the name, the mark can't be listed in this case. It was a hell of a race, though. I think that was the only one I watched on TV.
ReplyDeleteNice I was close.
ReplyDeleteHow do you convert the timing of the making of a banana split?
ReplyDeleteIsaly's, Friendly's, Berkey Creamery or Meyer's Dairy?
I don't think all of the above are FDA certified.
