BOSTON -- Senior quad-captain Billy Hale (Menlo Park, CA)
broke the five-year old Tufts University men's indoor track record
in the 1,000 meters with a 2:28.70 time at the Valentine
Invitational hosted by Boston University on Saturday afternoon. That
was the lead performance among several Jumbos who ran at the meet.
Hale's time erased Aaron Kaye's 2005 mark of 2:28.93 from the Jumbo
record book. Hale was 17th out of 83 entrants in the race at BU.
In the 800 meters at BU, freshman Dan Kirschner (Short Hills, NJ)
and senior Jason Hanrahan (Westport, CT) ran good 1:55.71 and
1:55.87 times, respectively, on the banked track at BU to finish
back-to-back in 38th and 39th places among 172 competitors. Senior
Jesse Faller (Burlington, MA) was 31st out of 170 in the 3,000
meters by crossing the finish line with an 8:28.73 time. In the sprints,
senior Marc Soskin (Minnetonka, MN) ran the 55-meter dash in 6.81
seconds and freshman Lomie Cunningham (Bergen, NJ) ran a 22.97
200 meters.
In the only men's event on Friday at the Valentine Invitational, the
distance medley relay foursome of Hale, senior Scott Brinkman (Alamo,
CA), Hanrahan, and Faller recorded a time of 10:21.10 for 19th place
out of 30 entrants. The 4x4 of senior quad-captain Jared Engelking
(Westborough, MA), sophomore Tobie Reeuwijk (Honolulu, HI),
Cunningham, and sophomore Ben Crastnopal (Doylestown, PA)
finished in 3:23.66 for 26th place out of 45 on Saturday.
The championship season begins next weekend with the New England
Division III meet at Bates on Friday and Saturday (Feb. 19-20).
