Valentine Invitational in Boston

[Nevada Hoya]

This meet will take place Friday and Saturday.

Before this meet new rankings have come out. Since the Hoyas did not compete over the weekend, I would expect the national and regional rankings for both the men and women would drop.

Regionals: Women dropped two places to #10, while the men stay at #8.

Nationals: Women dropped three places to #84, while the men drop four places to #76.

Squad event: Men remain 4th in the mile; they drop 3 places to #15 in the 800m. The women drop 4 places in the mile to #21.

Conference: This is the first rankings according to conference affiliation. The women start out at #5. The men start out at #5 also. UConn will be hard to beat (ever?) as they have twice the number of points that the 2nd place teams (men and women) have. UConn being a state school "rigs" the standings.

The squad will also be at Liberty for Darius Dixon Memorial Invitational. guhoyas.com/news/2023/2/9/mens-xc-track-hoyas-split-sites-at-valentine-invitational-and-darius-dixon-memorial-invitational.aspx The sprinters and jumpers will mainly be at the Darius Dixon meet.

The results are not what I thought they would be. Matt ran a decent race, but I thought he might go 1:47 or 1:46. I would expect at least 1:50 for the rest.
I hope Nick and Tim are okay. Nick did have the fastest first 400m of any of the 331 other runners.

Meanwhile over at the Armory in NYC for the Millrose Games, Josette gave it a go and just was outkicked by Olympic silver medalist in the 1500, Laura Muir. Josette ran 4:20.88 for the mile and 2nd place.
