New England Indoor T&F Champs results
New England Indoor Track & Field Champs report
We had three runners compete in this past weekend’s 2010 USATF New England
Indoor Championships. All three have been regular attendees at this year’s
indoor track workouts at Boston University on Thursday nights.
17 Mark McDermott Cambridge Sports 2:00.78 800m
18 Mark McDermott Cambridge Sports 4:29.02 1 Mile
17 Stephen Granger-Bevan Cambridge Sports 9:14.93 3000m
2 Stephen Peckiconis 50 Cambridge Sports 16:02.70 3000m RW
5 Stephen Peckiconis M50 Cambridge Sports 2:38.53 800m Masters
http://www.usatfne.org/track/results/2010indoor.html
TEAM SCORES
MEN
1.Gr.Boston TC 60; 2.Providence Cobras 18; 3.B.A.A. 13; 4.Hill n Harrier 10;
5.New Balance Boson 9; 6.MIT PVC 7; 7.Cambridge Sports Union, NE Walkers, Twilight Throwers 6;
10.Trails End, Y-Speed 4; 12.CMS, Hanover AC, Sisu 3; 15.Gate City, HFC Striders 2;
17.Gr.Springfield Harriers, Patriot PV 1
And with that team we finished in a tie for 7th at the NE Indoor Champs on Sunday.
Scoring is 5,3,2,1 per event. I am usually able to nab points in the Race Walk due to being the *youngest* participant!
That’s where 5 points came from. Mark scored 1 point for the first NE Association finisher in the 800.
We finished tied for 7th this year versus tied for 12th last year. With Mark and Stephen and some more younger runners in the future, we can keep improving on that.
Masters events don’t score, they are exhibition events to encourage participation.
Notice the inimical effect of age on my results over the last year
