Crusaders has some decent performances on Day 1 of the PL championships including a school record by hurdler Mike Mazzocca (7.96) Teammates Brian Fennelly and Josh Exantus will join him in the final. Fennelly and frosh Ryan Hatem are fourth and fifth thus far in the hepathalon with the next event being the hurdles which should help Fennelly. Liam Lyons won his heat to advance to the mile final in a race which saw BU 3:56 miler Parker Schneider fail to advance. Chandler Dicks PR’d in the long jump to place 6th at 22’ 81/2”. Ella Grey and Celia Kulis advanced in the hurdles and Kulis got 7th in the pentathlon. Kiley Ronan ran a quick 56.56 in the 400 to make the final as did Alex Lusby with a 2:12 in the 800. Maura Switzer was 5th in the pole vault at 12’ 5 1/2”.

ESPN+ coverage of the PL Champnship (at BU) was pretty good for the running events. One error was giving the results of second heats as "final" event results without including better performance from heat one in that event. For example, HC won their heat and finished 7th overall in the 4x400 relay, but that result was not shown. As was posted already, there was virtually no field event coverage. Bucknell's women took the first three places in the high jump (for almost as many points as HC got in the entire meet) and dominated the field events.

Some decent results for the Crusaders individually, and as rgs notes above, on a team basis. I thought the most interesting race of the day was the men's one mile run. Soph Liam Lyons finished second behind BU's 3:55 miler, FOster Malleck. Here are Lyons' splits in a race which went out quite slowly. The race is on a 200 meter track and the mile is 1609 meters so the first split is a bit long: 409 68.78 809 2:17.88 (69.1) 1209 3:17.23 (59.4) 1409 3:44.79 (27.55 for 200 m) Mile 4:12.69 (27.91 for last 200m) That is a 1:55 last half and a 55 second final quarter. That is serious talent.for a kid who came into college as a 4:18 1600 meter runner. He also anchored the distance medley relay running a 4:13 which, including the mile trials on Saturday, has him running three separate mile races under 4:14 in a period of about 26 hours. Here are the complete results results.leonetiming.com/?mid=7062Here is the HC writeup. : BOSTON, Mass.— The Holy Cross track and field teams completed the final day of competition at the Patriot League Championships hosted by Boston University on Sunday, Feb. 25.

That is on the Patriot League production as other leagues have had no issues broadcasting at BU in the past. |
