Ellerton - Mideast Champion!!

Congratulations to Andrew Ellerton, who placed first in the 800m at the Mideast Regional Championships with a smokin' 1:46.84!!!

It was the fastest time among any of the regional championships, and I believe, the fastest in the NCAA this year. It also sets another stadium record.

You can see footage of the race at:

Andrew now competes at the NCAA Championships in Sacramento California on June 6-9th.

Andrew at Regionals

We have lots of results from cities, but it will take time to get them all together. In the meantime, Andrew Ellerton is competing at the Mid-East Regional Championships in Columbia Missouri. He qualified for the finals with the fastest time - 1:47.43 - which I think is a stadium record.

The final is today.
If you want to see a smoooooth 1:47/800m you can watch Andrew's heat here (he's heat 2):

Sudbury Rocks Run

Here are the results from the 2nd annual Sudbury Rocks Run. Congratulations to Steve and Vince and the entire organizing committee. With over 1000 participants and a new downtown start/finish area, it was a fun and exciting event.

The plan is to make the race a destination event for road racers, and it seems to be working already. One couple I spoke to had travelled from Manitoba to take part in the stage marathon (different starting times based on age class).

Here are the results from the Track North runners and alumni.
