La Salle Academy, Providence, RI

Georgetown gets so many talented middle distance guys, except development rate isn't even 50%. Why do kids like these keep going there?

Last year Georgetown had 3 guys run 1:47, 2 run 1:48, 2 run 1:49, 3 run 3:58, 1 run 3:59 and 2 run 3:42. You're right. They suck.

I was going through the results from last year to see if anyone had a chance at taking down CBA and La Salle,

CC Is returning all of their runners from last year, and they ran 10:07.

Also they have Ratcliffe on anchor who split 4:05 last year

This is pretty awesome for little Ol' Road Island. Are there some carpet baggers from southeastern Mass.(say Attleboro) on board at LaSalle? And cudos to this H.S. coach. Who is he?

I ran at Dartmouth track several times, years ago, it was flat but worse, hard as concrete, great for sprinters, but shin splints territory for distance guys. Nevertheless I saw Lynn Jennings set an American 5k record there many moons ago.She cranked out 70 second quarters like a Swiss watch. Tough chick, that one.

XC Coach - Kenneth Skelly

T/F coach - Vincent McGinn

No idea on where to find a team roster to see where the athletes are from.

I will be at the East Coast Invitational (LaSalle already said they will be attending) Friday night racing in the DMR. If anyone wanted me to ask one of them something I could. I have to assume they'll be racing the DMR friday.

WOW, I guess what I'm wondering is how 3 runners are so close togeather in times? Clearly it's a result of them training togeather and working hard. I mean sure, I bet they were all talented to start, but still. Never say you can't improve.

Well, you could say their close times at that meet was because they were just making sure their team got the points while they got a good workout in. It's an early season dual meet.

I don't think so, I mean it'd be crazier if they could run significantly faster than that.

Those are 1500m times, not mile times, so yes, I think they can run significantly faster than that.

If they were mile times, then they would have been 2 seconds faster than the state record. The HSB don't run the mile at the RI state meet.

They have a guy that runs a 9:51 two miles. Not bad

Their 4th man ran a 4:07 at 1500m (worth 4:27 mile) last week. They now also have a 5th guy at 4:11 for 1500m (he's a freshman).

Season almost over unfortunately and still much weaker than Great Oak (which is incredible really)
