MARINER INVITATIONAL 10/19/2002

Mariner Invite was successful for all!  Four out of five teams medalled and personal records were smashed by minutes!  It all started out with the coaches race.  John Akstin (father of Kevin and Laura) led the pack running the 2.1 mile hilly course in 13:50.5, getting second in a tough age group.  Lamar Turner followed with a 15:09.4 earning himself a third place medal in his age group.  Triggs jogged in eventually, annoying her fellow runners along the way with inane conversation, in a time good enough to get her a third place in the highly touted 18-29 age group.  Rounding out our "coaches" team was Mr. Suzuki who, under last minute pressure, jumped on the line with Coach Anderson's number, and learned an important lesson about pacing.  Hopefully tonight his daughter, Stefanie, will teach him about stretching and icing.

Next up the frosh-soph girls, lead by Sarah Perez, toed the line.  With only five starting, the girls tackled the 2.1 mile hilly course, most of them running their fastest times ever for ANY 2 mile course, much less a challenging 2.1 miler with the quarter mile long hill!    There efforts and shortness of breath earned them third place team honors, and team medals.  Tiffany Barclay, alone in the junior varsity girls division also ran a personal best for ANY 2 mile course, and came in 18th out of 40 contestants in the small school division.

Lisa Marchini, Thea Ricchiuto, and Erin Turner lead newly varsity girls Lmar Babrak, Julie Crandall, and Elinor Crescenzi to a fourth place medal performance on a grueling 3.1 mile course packed with rolling hills.  All these girls dropped an insane amount of time, giving the best Salesian performance at Mariner, despite our number three Pilar Vree feeling under the weather and a certain freshman having trouble finding the finish line!

The boys frosh-soph lead by Chris Scott and Ehsan Habib pushed the pace, but sleep (or lack thereof) and donut breakfasts (that's what I'm blaming!) kept them off the medal stands.  The  junior varsity boys surprised themselves, though, with a fourth place medalling performance.  Paul Logston dropped 70 seconds from the previous year, and David Adams dropped a full two minutes, as well as his lunch on the finish line (a BIG lunch).

The varsity boys had the largest group improvement, earning them medal honors.  Peder Berthelsen, our second best runner last year beat his previous time by over two and a half minutes.  Xavier Vivoni, Chris DeCarlo, Keyvan Berenjian, David Brazil, and Rafael Martin all ran faster than they ever have before on this course, and even besting Peder's time last year!
