Fayetteville Manilus won the Girls' DMR. It has relevance because Courtney Chapman is a VU recruit for next year. She apparently ran a very nice 800 leg and beat Claudia Francis (Cardozo) in the process.

Girls' Distance Running at Penn

Just looking at the times, looks like there were some significant issues!

DMR

No splits or anything up on the penn website but neutts, lipari, mimic and reid finished 3rd, 3 sec. behind BC and Gtown. 3rd is tough, but to lose to 2 other Big East rivals is an even tougher pill to swallow. Be interested to get more details.
time of 17:28 which is about 4:22 per leg.

The women finished 13th. Lipari 3:27 and Verdier 64 Neutts 2:10 and Reid 4:43. I just glanced quickly at the results, so I may be off on the times. There must have been some major problems to explain the times. Georgetown won around 10:51. I think Villanova was about 11:26.

Here are a few results. The rest can be found at the Princeton website:
1500 Gibney 3:44.95 // McEntee 3:47.77 (running unattached) //McKenzie 3:47.98 // Tetreault 3:48.07

800 Apwah 1:51.33 // Wikler 1:55.09

women's 800 Neutts 2:10.61 // Lipari 2:09.10 //McElroy 2:11.42

Congrats to Sheila Reid on a blistering fast 1500M last friday out at Mt. Sac. Her 4:11 is 5 sec. faster than any other collegiate 1500 up to this point. Only runner she couldn't beat was Shalene Flanagan, who is pretty darn tough.

Interesting results in the 5K too. Shippensburg's Neely Spence beat Jordan Hasay. Too bad that Spence is tied to at the hip to her dad, who is also a pretty good guy so I can't be too critical. She would have been a serious stud for us. She also beat Mimic by 15 sec. in the same race.

why can't the cats?

LaSalle College High School ran a US#8 (it was #1 at that time) time of 10:18.28 to win the distance medley relay at Coatesville meet. DMR was anchored by Tom Trainer, a Villanova commit for the fall.

Penn Relays is four weeks away. Interesting to contemplate the 4x1600 for women. Or is it 4x1500? Reid, Mimic and Lipari will make-up three of the legs. Who is the fourth - Callie Hogan, Alison Smith, Amanda Marino or even Kelly McElroy or Summer Cook? I don't believe Sarah Morrison will be a factor.

They came close, last year, with arguably a stronger team. Wright of Tenn ran a very smart anchor to seal the win. Reid ran well but not smart on the anchor. You simply don't try to pass a runner like Wright on the turn. Hurt her. But I think Reid is a superior runner, this year, so it will be interesting.

Hogan of two years ago would be the choice, but this year ...?

Women have a good chance of winning two - DMR & 4x1600.

See link below for results of meet at Penn, Saturday.

Note the 3rd place in the women's 1500 is Summer Cook of Villanova at 4:35.64. Not a bad time. Who is she? She also ran in the 800. So-so time. Anyone know anything about her? Transfer? Frosh?

Callie Hogan won 1500. Maybe she is returning to form ...???

Meet at Penn Results

LSU-Nit, great piece of reporting on your blog. People, make sure you read it.

I think I know the names of some of the kids Marcus is trying to recruit in Ireland. Two I am aware of are very good. One is better than anything in the present U.S. HS class. I am reluctant to throw names around. LSU-Nit might already know. Keep your fingers crossed.

I realize that tickets for people that are renewing go out earlier, but this is my first year I have ordered reserved tickets. My American Express card has already been charged, or should I make a call to Penn. But I was told that tickets my tickets would be spent early in April. Am I still in the early April according to Penn. I had to get reserved tickets for two reasons; the first is that I just had my seventy fifty birth day, the second is that I have had some surgeries and skin grafts that would make long walks up those steps hard.

Sebastianic, I liked your analysis, and we could grab two on the Ladycats' side. Any word on Fitzsimmons?

The Immaculata Mighty Macs movie was set to debut nationally on the weekend of the final four but has been delayed once again, apparently until October for no reason given other than to "coincide with the 40 year anniversary of thier first national championship". The red carpet premiere is still set to go on March 28th here in Philly however.

The trailers for the movie look cool, with lots of cameos by former coaches, players and other locals. Not sure how Tony Luke makes it in there other than he probably provided free food.

I probably have seen as many basketball games as anyone on these boards simply because I am older. But without equivocation, our LadyCats which I saw yesterday on TV have absolutely no athletes. I guess Cane and Sweeney have talent, but they are not going to dazzle anyone with their quickness or athleticism. This was the first time I have seen them this year, and we should have won. But we have no athletes. The accolades about their GPAs and decorum are well deserved, But Harry who recruited these players simply can't compete with so many non-athletic players.

Harry's comment to Mel Greenberg after the St. John's game from Mel's blog.

Perretta talked about needing more players to throw into the guard spot.

“We’ll know next year ? if we don’t show improvement, I hate to say it but maybe this group of kids aren’t good enough to get it done in the Big East.”

Ouch.

Looking at stats. Louisville 49 shots, 29 were threes. Providence less than half were threes. Went to the line more at providence. Unless you take the ball to the hoop to keep the other team honest, its harder and harder to set up the threes. Not much else to say. There is no defense to the state of the program and it starts at the top. Geno makes a comment as to how Georgetown and St. Johns have turned it around. Its not impossible. I will still go to a few games a year. Too bad Lent didn't start early, I could have made it part of my penance.

Awesome guys making a contribution to both programs!

Overcoming challenges

49 shots, 36 were threes. More turnovers than assists.

Those are our point totals in our 0-4 Big East start.

Beyond pathetic.
