Scott Friedman and Charles Conway both looked very good running the 5000m at Somers HS last night. Friedman and Conway ran 17:02 and 17:03, both PR's, tough they were not racing all out. Last year Robert Gorecki's best time in the summer 5K efforts was 17:10.
Junior David Sammel ran 17:37 for a nice PR and sophomore Justin Zorn ran 17:49 for a PR as well. Isaac Shelby, not feeling 100%, ran 17:58 to round out the top 5. Varsity team candidate Ryan Matsumoto ran 18:31 and Mike Persic 18:37. Both are better than they ran last summer with Ryan's being a PR. Dan Carleton ran under 21:00 and had really had a fine summer of training.
Coach Fulton's time of 17:54 was his best in ten years and 2 minutes faster than he ran last summer. A 1994 graduate of Somers HS, it looks like coach Fulton could still be the 6th man on this team.
The boys look poised to be much improved from last years team. In this workout last year the Tusker 5th man was over 19:00. This year he was under 18:00.
