After having Saturday’s track meet postponed due to a large storm, the Goats lined up Sunday morning at 11 a.m. for a day of indoor track. After observing the track decorum of the Bees first, the Goats took to the track against the likes of Swarthmore, Temple, Rutgers-Camden, and NYU.
Captain Anders Hulleburg ’11 set the tone for the day with a 14:54 performance in the 5K. He averaged a pace of 12.5 miles an hour, just under the Haverford campus speed limit for cars.
Hulleburg was followed closely by Oregon native Joseph Carpenter ’11, who finished 10 seconds later. Haverford alum and Rutgers graduate student Taylor Burmeister ’09 filled out the podium in 15:10. Goat Eric Chesterton ran a personal best by .13 seconds in the slower heat.
“It wasn’t a great race, but Anders ran really well," Carpenter said. "There wasn’t too much competition."
The mile saw a personal best from Lucas Fuentes ’11 (4:22), who finished mere inches in front of Chris Southwick ’11. Jordan Schilit ’13 finished close behind Elias Tousley ’11, a Centennial Conference Cross Country Sportsmanship award winner.
The 800m race featured four returners from Haverford’s distance medley relay (DMR) team that raced in the Armory in New York on Friday.
Ivo Milic ’13, who anchored the DMR and ran 1600m in 4:13, ran 1:55 to finish first for Haverford. His teammates Eric Arnold ’12, Tim Schoch ’12, and Richard Dowlat ’11 finished seconds behind in the 800m. More impressive was their 10:03 performance in the Armory, which might qualify them for the D3 National Meet and is an impressive time for early February.
At the end of the meet, Haverford’s “B” team upset its “A” team to finish the 1600m relay in 3:35.
Apartment 26 resident Jacob Olshansky enjoyed the meet.
“Reuben [Land ‘11] outkicked Mike Riccio [‘13] by a foot," Olshansky said. "The Haverford on Haverford action in the four by four was cool."
Other notable performances came from Alec Koffer ’13, who won the 400m in 52.28, and Dan O’Toole ’09, who ran 4:16 to take third in the mile.
