*****DECEMBER 28TH AT RPI--THE MEET BEGAN AT 1:45 AND THE BUS ACTUALLY GOT THERE IN TIME FOR EVERYONE TO WARM UP FOR THEIR EVENT. I WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE ANY PICTURES OF THE MEET TODAY B/C I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAMERA WITH ME. IT WAS A VERY SMALL MEET. SOME OF THE OTHER TEAMS WERE SCHENECTADY, ALBANY, MOHON, BETHLEHEM, AND SCHUYLERVILLE. SARATOGA SENT SOME PEOPLE TO A MEET AT BROWN, AS DID COLONIE. JUST A SIDE NOTE, COACH PARETTA TOLD ME THAT WE WILL NOT BE RUNNING AGAINST EITHER COLONIE OR SHAKER UNTIL SUBURBANS. DURING WARMUP, JOHN LYNCH WAS TESTING OUT HIS NEW NIKE SHIFT RACERS WHEN HE CAME FLYING AROUND THE TURN AND LANDED FLAT ON HIS STOMACH AND CHEST. THIS WAS PERHAPS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME (OTHER THAN WAGNER SINGING ASSMAN).

AS FOR THE MEET ITSELF, THE 4X800 TEAM KICKED THINGS OFF RATHER UNCEREMONIOUSLY. JOHN LYNCH TOOK IT OUT IN 2:07 WITH BETHLEHEM'S ALEX VOETSCH TRAILING RIGHT BEHIND. LYNCH TOLD ME THAT HE WASN'T EVEN TIRED AND THAT HE COULD HAVE RUN FASTER. SENIOR SEAN O'BRIEN RAN THE SECOND LEG IN 2:18 AND SHAUN HORAN FOLLOWED UP WITH A DISMALL 2:22. JUNIOR MARTY WEISHAAR ANCHORED WITH A TIME OF 2:10, GIVING THE TEAM A THIRD PLACE FINISH. IN THE 1600M, BETHLEHEM'S CLARKE FOLEY FINISHED FIRST IN 4:37.0, THE BEST TIME IN SECTION II SO FAR THIS SEASON. FOR THE PLAINSMEN, SENIOR ZACH HANSEN WAS SECOND (4:42), JUNIOR SCOTT SCHULTE WAS THIRD (4:45), AND JUNIOR MARK GAEDJE WAS FOURTH (4:57).

SENIOR SAM SILVER HAD A STELLAR PERFORMNANCE IN THE 600M, AS HE RAN A .7 PERSONAL BEST TIME OF 1:31.2 TO FINISH FIRST. JUNIOR ERIK ELA ALSO RAN WELL IN THE 600M FOR THE PLAINSMEN. IN AN UNCOMPETITIVE 3200M, LYNCH RAN AWAY WITH THE RACE IN A TIME OF 10:20, THE TOP TIME ON THE TEAM THIS SEASON. THE NEXT CLOSEST FINISHER WAS SCHULTE (10:53). SENIOR JEREMY RELYEA WAS THIRD (11:02) AND SENIOR MIKE HAUSER FINISHED FIFTH (11:09).

IN THE 1000M, FOLEY FINISHED FIRST ONCE AGAIN WITH A TIME OF 2:44. WEISHAAR TOOK SECOND (2:46), VOETSCH WAS THIRD (2:47.2), AND I FINISHED FOURTH (2:47.4)--YES I ACTUALLY MADE A CONTRIBUTION TO THE TEAM. IN THE FINAL RUNNING EVENT, THE 4X400, SILVER TOOK IT OUT FAST WITH A SPLIT OF 56.4. HANSEN RAN A 56.5 FOR THE SECOND LEG AND ELA FOLLOWED UP WITH A 58.0. JUNIOR WAGNER SAMANIENGO ANCHORED WITH A 56.9 TO GIVE THE TEAM A SECOND PLACE FINISH (3:47) TO BETHLEHEM IN THE 1600M RELAY.

IN THE FIELD EVENTS, SENIORS DAVE MACKENZIE AND ROB HOSGOOD STOLE THE SHOW. MACKENZIE VAULTED 14'0" TO FINISH FIRST. HE MISSED A 14'10" JUMP THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM THE SCHOOL RECORD (14'9"). HOSGOOD WON THE HIGH JUMP BY SETTING A NEW SCHOOL RECORD OF 6'4.5". THE OLD RECORD WAS 6'4". CONGRATULATIONS ROB. HE ALSO WON THE LONG JUMP WITH A JUMP OF 19'4". WE WON THE MEET BY A SCORE OF 206.5 TO 104 OVER BETHLEHEM TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED ON THE SEASON (3-0)

THE 4X800M RELAY TEAM WAS NOT STACKED AT ALL. I'M NOT SURE OF THEIR PLACE, BUT SENIOR DARRELL ANDRUSKI HAD A SPLIT OF 2:11. SENIOR CHRIS COOPER RAN A 2:14 IN HIS FIRST TIME EVER IN THE HALF MILE. JUNIOR DAVE VICKERS HAD A 2:27. IN THE 1600M, JUNIOR SCOTT SCHULTE RAN A 4:47. JUNIOR MARK GAEDJE FINISHED IN 4:58, EQUALING HIS SEASON BEST. EIGHTH-GRADER SCOTT MINDEL RAN A 5:01. SENIOR JEREMY RELYEA JUST MISSED BREAKING FIVE MINUTES WITH HIS 5:02 AND SENIOR MIKE HAUSER RAN A PERSONAL BEST OF 5:05.

IN THE 300M, SENIOR SAM SILVER WAS THIRD WITH A TIME OF :38. ZACH HANSEN RAN A 1:29 IN THE 600M, THE BEST ON THE TEAM SO FAR THIS YEAR, TO PACE HIM TO A THIRD PLACE FINISH BEHIND AVERILL PARK'S TYSON EVENSON. JUNIOR WAGNER SAMANIENGO RAN A 1:31 AND SENIOR SHAUN HORAN FINISHED 5TH IN 1:34.2. I RAN A 1:34.8 TO FINISH 6TH.

SOPHOMORES BRIAN DOWNEY AND MARTY O'BRIEN REPRESENTED THE PLAINSMEN IN THE 3200M, ALTHOUGH THEIR TIMES ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. AN ALL-STAR RACE IN THE 1000M PITTED SHEN'S JOHN LYNCH, DARRELL ANDRUSKI, AND MARTY WEISHAAR AGAINST ONE OF THE AREA'S BEST RUNNERS, TYSON EVENSON OF THE AVERILL PARK WARRIORS. LYNCH SMOKED THE REST OF THE FIELD IN A BLISTERING 2:41.93, THUS IMPROVING ON HIS SECTION II BEST TIME. ANDRUSKI WAS THIRD IN 2:47 AND WEISHAAR WAS FOURTH IN 2:47. EVENSON, BY THE WAY, FINISHED SECOND IN 2:44.

THE 4X400M RELAY TEAM OF SILVER, FRESHMAN JOHN HAGSTRAND, SAMANIENGO, AND HANSEN RAN A 3:48.75. SAMANIENGO, WHO HAILS FROM ECUADOR, RAN A TEAM BEST SPLIT OF 55.6. THE MOMENT OF THE MEET CAME WHEN SILVER, WHO LED OFF THE RACE, KNOCKED DOWN SCOTIA'S SEAN O'BRIEN (NO RELATION) AS HE CAME AROUND THE FINAL TURN OF HIS 57.6 SPLIT. O'BRIEN, WHO BEAT SILVER EARLIER IN THE 300M, HAD BUMPED THE EXTRAORDINARILY PALE SENIOR, PROMPTING A SWIFT RESPONSE FROM THE MAN WE KNOW AS THE GREAT WHITE GHOST AND BIG POPPA PUMP (SUPAAMAN). "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU F--- WITH ME," SILVER SAID IN AN EXCLUSIVE POST RACE INTERVIEW. HE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF WEAR AFTER A DECEMBER 30TH AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT WHICH LEFT HIS 1999 PONTIAC SUNFIRE (IT'S A VERY BASIC CAR) SMASHED BEYOND REPAIR. SO THAT WAS THE MEET.

OUR FIRST AT HVCC (AN EXTREMELY SLOW TRACK) ENDED AROUND 8:15PM. WE WON THE MEET 157.3 TO 75 OVER SCOTIA TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED (4-0) ON THE SEASON.

RUNNING THE 3200M FOR THE PLAINSMEN WILL BE JUNIORS SCOTT SCHULTE AND MARK GAEDJE. O'BRIEN, HANSEN, AND MYSELF WILL COMPETE IN THE 1000M. HORAN IS RUNNING THE 300M AND FRESHMAN JOHN HAGSTRAND (LUKE'S BRO) IS IN THE 600M.
