stanford invite preview – (09/29/27)
it was a long day but a good day. we left around 8am and headed north to stanford. our crew is pretty tight now because every saturday we spend hours together in the van.
we got to the meet around 1pm and tried to figure out the course. steve ended up running the course behind one of the races and was able to geve the team a good idea of what to look out for. i also found where i could get photos and splits.
the start was super fast with ariey going out in 5:15 for the first mile and the rest were under 5:50.
ariey hit the 2 mile in 11:07, followed by david and edquist in 11:20 and zack and mccarthy in around 11:40. john and chris went by in around 12 minutes.
the last 600 meters of this 5000 meter course was slightly uphill and kind of took the team by surprise.
their 3 mile splits were ariey 17:00, david 17:15, edquist 17:27, zack and mccarthy 17:57. john 18:15 and chris 18:21.
here are their final results:
