Proviso West Invitational Results found here

 

What a strange day for NV!  We had two relays DQ’d, Chris Derrick ran a lap short in the 3200m, and Tony Parast got pushed down as he led the open 400m into the last turn. 

 

The good news is that we had some outstanding performances from some of our younger guys in the distance events.  A summary:

 

F/S 3200m – Sophomore Connor Shields and Freshman Luke Verbus ran with all-state runner Steve Sulkin for 23 laps to run 10:02 and 10:08 respectively.  With both of these guys having injury prone falls, they are starting to get into the racing groove again.

Varsity 3200m – Chris Derrick looked amazing as the pack went through the first mile in 4:50.  He learned that he cannot wait too long to start dictating the pace if it is too slow.  The race was a crazy one with the gun being fired a lap early.  Sophomore Danny Pawola ran the proper number of laps to run 9:48.9 to set a new pr.  Chris probably would have run around 9:27 if he had not finished early.

F/S 1600m – Freshman Aaron Beattie’s first track race with top competition was a great learning experience.  Now that he has some confidence, we will see him run much faster.  He still managed to run 4:53 for a full mile.  Sophomore Bryan Winek also broke 5:00. 

Varsity 1600m – Jimmy Riddle was tired from his 2:04 effort in the 3200m relay and only managed a 4:37.  Jimmy is learning a valuable lesson – you cannot afford to take time off during the winter if you expect to compete with the big boys.  As he rounds into shape, we will see the old Jimmy back.  Sophomore Brian Morenus ran a gutsy race to finish in 4:47 for a full mile. 

Other highlights – Freshman James Krist ran a 2:07.5 split in the 3200m relay.  Freshman Jordan Lagomarcino ran a 2:14 800m.  Sophomore Robert James ran a 2:07.7 open 800m.  Sophomore Brian Griffith ran a 1:29.0 600m all by himself.  Junior Marshall Stewart is starting to see this past fall’s participation in xc pay off.  He ran a 1:28.1 600m and ran a great leg in the 4x400m relay.  Juniors Mike Ruff and Josh Budnik had mediocre days.  Both ran around 2:08 for an 800m.  Once Josh gets well and Mike gets into shape after a lazy winter, we will see better times.  Probably one of the best performances of the day came from Sophomore Tanner Maunder.  Tanner ran a 55.7 open 400m and has never run cross country before.  Hopefully, he decides to work hard this summer and run xc.
