January's Track Meets

[Nevada Hoya]

This weekend the Hoyas are scheduled for both the Virginia Tech Invitational on Friday and Saturday and the Father Diamond Open on Saturday at George Mason. The Hoyas will apparently have different athletes attending the meets.

[Nevada Hoya]

Oops, I missed the Gulden Relays at Bucknell last weekend. I guess my head was in bball land. Plus, this meet was not listed on the Hoyas schedule.

The results are listed at the GU sports at www3.georgetown.edu/athletics/guhoyas/sports/w-track/spec-rel/011005aaa.html

I will check to see if I can get more detailed results tonight.

Contrary to what was posted on guhoyas.com, Georgetown did not seem to have any entries in the Father Diamond meet at GMU. Also, no word on Chris Lukezic and Rod Koborsi, GU's top distance runners. I assume they will be held out until other meets; both have had busy schedules through XC and track.

[reformation]

Wonder if Debole's appearance with indicates that he will be back nexy yr.

[Nevada Hoya]

Good question, reformation. I have been hearing rumors that he may be back next year, but nothing definite. I hope at the very least, he has paid some remuneration for the damage he caused, and that he will mature as a result of his acts.

[Nevada Hoya]

Just found this on the dyestat message board:


"I ran with the kid who was with Debole when the 'incident' happened and Matt was suspended for a year from school. 'Its just like he is red-shirting'"

The kid was Dan Tebbano. So it seems as if Matt will be back next year.

[reformation]

from a competitive standpoint at least its good that he'll be back--then men could use him and the women could use E. Maloy--unfortunately no sign of her in the early meets--hopefully she can come back

[Nevada Hoya]

It is such a shame that Elizabeth has been injured so much. She is such a talented runner. Hope she is able to overcome her injuries.

[Nevada Hoya]

This Saturday, Jan. 22, the Hoyas are competing in the Terrapin meet at the Prince Georges Sport and Learning Complex. Since the bball team doesn't play until Sunday, maybe we can get some area fans over to the meet to cheer the Hoyas. Since I will be out of town (San Diego for the National 30K Racewalk Championships), I won't be able to get results until Monday. Guhoyas.com has been pretty good this year so far in getting at least limited results, so check there Sunday. Otherwise, I will try to get a full report on Monday.

[Nevada Hoya]

I'm baaaacckkk! Before I give the Hoyas' results over the weekend (actually guhoyas is doing a good job in getting timely results), I will give the late breaking results of the National 30K Racewalk Championships at Chula Vista, CA.

[reformation]

Nevada, good times for M. Infeld + Fleet Hower, maybe koborsi +hall as you pointed out--rest of times were pretty weak, hopefully people were running non specialty distances

[Nevada Hoya]

Chris Bonner is usually a 400m man, so the 800m is at the end of his strength; he will do okay. It is still early in the season, so I think they are still doing some experimentation with odd distances. Chris Lukezic hasn't run this year yet; I don't know if he is being held out of the early meets or being redshirted. I would expect him to redshirt one of these seasons, since he has been pretty active, since he came to GU.

[Nevada Hoya]

The last meet(s) in January are the Penn State Open at PSU and the Terrier Classic in Boston. Sounds like a split squad again. Both meets run Friday and Saturday.
