State College Brief Recap

No Will Cather anywhere to be found in the results. I'm not sure if he is hurt or not, but hopefully he is just saving up for states. Cumberland Valley dropped an uncontested 10:29.9h DMR time and I feel it is likely we will see them now in the DMR over the 4x8 at states based on things I have heard from sources around the team. That makes things very interesting going forward if they decide to keep a fresh team. Only Kunzweiler has qualified as an individual to this point. Sounds like the order on their DMR was Coburn, Miller, St. Peter, Kunzweiler. That makes things even more complicated for Kunzweiler if he is thinking double.

Real nice run for Central Dauphin. They were a bit of a sleeper for me when it came to outdoor track, I didn't expect much out of them indoors. But a relatively uncontested 8:13 should be very competitive come states, especially considering they will probably have a fresh relay at states.

Jordan Crawford and Cole Nissley each had nice runs in the mile hitting 4:31 and 4:32 respectively. Neither were quite good enough to get them to states, but both are steps in the right direction thinking ahead to outdoors. Nissley will be dangerous over 3200m if all goes right.

In the 800m, State College proved they definitely could have had a sick DMR. Adams ran sub 2 for 800m in 1:59.7h. Chris Golemski ran 2:02.0h. They are still going to have a pretty solid 4x8 at states assuming Cather is healthy at least. Great race for Jeff Groh at some serious underdistance at 1:58.9h. At this point he is a serious mile medal contender. He will probably run the double in the 800 at states of the heck of it. Why not at this point.

Lower Dauphin should have a solid XC squad next year behind Groh Nissley and some youngsters who have run solid. They had a kid win the 3k in 9:19 as well. Josh Santeusanio.

Hopefully we can get some splits on the relays and some news on Cather. Good work everyone who competed.
