@ Ursinus College,
3000m Steeple:
weather was great, I felt fresh-the taper went well. last meet of my season & freshman year.
Fast heat of the steeple was 12 guys: The race went out slow which was good for me, I hung on to the back of the bunched up pack in 78, 2:39 ish, after 3 laps the leaders(avi, 4 dickinson guys, and budman) started ratcheting down the pace. I moved around a haverford guy and found myself in 8th place about 20 meters behind the end of the front pack. I needed to be up with them but the gap was too big and i couldn't summon a big enough surge. my position didn't change from there and I fought as hard as I could to keep pace, then on the very last barrier my trail leg caught and I BIT the track on my wrist, knee and spiked myself. got up and sprinted to the finish for 9:59.37 8th place in the fast heat but 9th overall. I felt much beter today than the last 2 races, smoother over barriers, stronger, but i still finished with a very frustrating 9th position, zero points; I knew Budman was up there scoring points and i wanted so badly to get some too.
the meet came down 5 POINTS. Haverford: 177, JHU: 172
So many guys this weekend had PRs and ran with guts: it was fucking exciting and everyone was going nuts: ON day 1 we slaughter the pole vault, Carey and Ben in the 800 were monsters, the guys in the 1500 ran with balls (julian 3:57), Luke killed the throws, 1-2-3 in the long jump, jeb farted on everybody in the triple, mini ran 57 in 400H, Max scored in both the 10K & 5K which is NUTs in this conference. Tiki in the 200, Austin shit on the slow heat of the 5k. and the best race of the meet was the 4x4, Carey surrenders the lead to Tim Schoch because of a shitty handoff, and then kicks that fucker down in the last 100 meters (48.9split?).
I have no doubt we will win next year. and i will be a part of it.
My season is now finally over: time for some needed rest, and then the trials of miles begins.
