NBB at the Olympic Trials
NBB’s Rebecca Donaghue and Jess Minty took to the streets of Houston in the fastest, most competitive Olympic Marathon Trials race in U.S. History. Donaghue was debuting at the distance, having qualified for the meet using a 10,000m time. She was the ONLY athlete in the field to use a 10K mark as her qualifier. In her first marathon, Rebecca ran an outstanding 2:35:57 – a pace of 5:57 per mile – to place 17th overall. Jess Minty was also out to compete, holding steady at approximately 2:43 pace until hitting the wall at mile 23. Depsite a difficult last few miles, Jess persevered and accomplished something many of us hope we can one day claim: she is an Official Finisher of the United States Olympic Trials. Congrats to both athletes on the tremendous hard work they put in to accomplish their goals. |

Early Season Results Promising; Big Meets Still to Come!
New Balance Boston athletes ran strong times in the final round of the “early season” meets.
At the final Boston University mini-meet,
Andrea Sorgato lowered his 3K time to 8:15 – almost 10 seconds faster
than his time 2 weeks ago. Paul Norton, Dan Kramer and James Weider all followed Andrea in the fastest heat of the day. On
the women’s side, Jenn Donovan ran a fast 9:31 opener in her season
debut over 3K, while Diana Davis and Joanna Murphy doubled back to run
10:02 and 10:03 after running 5:13 and 5:06 (respectively) in the mile
earlier in the day. Also in the mile were Phil Mainwairing (4:16) and Caitlin Malloy (4:59), who led the way for the team in that event.
At the Dartmouth Relays, Erin Dromgoole
and Caitlin Malloy worked on speed and strength against strong
collegiate competition. Erin ran 5:02 in the mile for her season opener,
while Caitlin competed in a rarely-run event for her, the 3000m.

Indoor season begins!
A handful of NBB athletes competed in the first of Boston University’s popular annual mini-meets on December 17th. Andrea Sorgato and Roland Lavallee took 1-2 in the 3000m (with Lavallee doubling back from the mile). Not far behind was Stephanie Reilly, who ran 9:12 in her first track race since this summer’s World Championships in Daegu. Phil Mainwaring, Colin Lyons, Ellie Mosser and Caitlin Malloy all took the mid-distance crew up a notch by using the early season 3K to test out their racing legs. Results can be found here.
Reilly also competed in the second mini-meet on December 24th, recording a 4:38 mile.
Next up for NBB: more mini-meets and the Dartmouth Relays! |
