Track Notes

- Epitomizing the indomitable will of this talented Freshman squad, Dan Dengler (a.k.a. MIP) anchored an all-world DMR including Chin, Weitzman, and Fitzsimons, with a 5:10 mile—a mere 12 seconds off his best. Other noteworthy double PRs came from the likes of Cavanagh, Saunders, and Rausse.

 

-Coming up: Fri. Feb. 12 – Jesuit Championships, Forham U.

Simply the most important meet of the Indoor season. While we have won   the last three years, Regis poses a SERIOUS threat, with excellent Freshman, Soph, and Varsity squads. This only emphasizes the importance of 100% attendance at practice this week, as EVERYONE counts in this meet. It is an all-relay meet, where Weight division and Freshman events score just much as Varsity. Therefore, no excuses accepted. All runners meet at Lombardi Center at 3:30pm         

Mon. Feb. 15 – Sophomore Sectionals, Fordham U.

All Sophs AND Frosh meet at Lombardi Center at 8:00am

N.B. Freshman may choose their event(s) for this meet, see bulletin board.

All Varsity should report for practice at 10:00am

 

Winter Break

Varsity Practice: Mon, Tues, Wed at 10:00am

Sat. Feb. 20 – CHSAA City Champs, Manhattan Coll.

Final Note:  Season-Ending Pizza Party: Mon. Feb. 22, 3pm, Rm. 216
