Obviously, Dan has been keeping us up to date on his running this fall. I wanted to try and get everybody caught up on what the other local runners were doing in college.
Woody Snoberger of West Virginia Wesleyan (Frankfort) ran in his first meet two weeks ago at WVU and ran a solid 26:58 (I think) for third place overall. This past weekend, he ran at Davis & Elkins and placed fifth in 29:20 on a very insanely tough course. I think his next race is in two weeks at the Iona Meet of Champions and Van Cortland in New York.
Emily Derosa of Wheeling Jesuit (Beall) has run in two meets, starting off the season by posting a time of 22:26 at Duquesne. Then last week, she ran 23:08 at the Bob Creamer Invitational, finishing fifth on her team.
Scott Bonnette of Wheeling Jesuit (Beall) has yet to run a meet. The first two meets were low-key, but he should open up his season at Notre Dame this weekend for the national Catholic Championships.
Jordan Davis of Syracuse (Allegany) has also yet to run a meet. None of the top guys at Syracuse have toed the line yet this year, but look for them to "officially" open up this weekend and the Boston College Invite.

I talked to Scott and it sounds like he is dealing with some injury problems. I think he might be out for awhile getting healthy and excited to race again.
Our season continues tomorrow against Lafayette at the Dual meet. We run at their course, which is pretty slow (I know Justin likes it) and get an idea of the course where we will run Patriot League Champs at this year.
Lafayette's top guy is out, and I heard last night that none other Aaron Buchman will suit up for them so that they have a complete team.
Our team looks to go 1-7 or better I think.
Jaron- I will call you tomorrow night and let you know how things go. Thanks for the updates.
Meanwhile, my legs hurt worse than ever (still at 80-85mpw with some tough lifting routines) and I was up until 1am, 2am, and 3am consecutive nights this year. I love junior year already.
DAN

GO LEHIGH!
Lafayette's course is on the tough/hilly side, but it's not too bad. I like it. It's 2 loops, and I always thought mentally that made it easier.
Good Luck Dan., it looks like the weather is getting cooler and should make for faster times.

homework is kicking my butt right now but i just wanted to tell the concerned few who saw me a minute off the lead at the dual meet:
i puked at 3.5 miles and had to stop for about 20 seconds- i never quite got back into the rhythm and finished pretty far back- i was leading a pack of about 15 (12-13 lehigh) at the time and it came up on me just like it did this past summer on frederick street at the end of the mason road monster (ask jaron for details)
i am still doing fine and still shooting for low 25's at paul short- just a crappy way to finish what would have been a 15-48 or 15-49 sweep! ugh! oh well, at least it wasnt an injury
more when i get time.....DAN

Glad to hear that I am not the only one who can induce vomiting! Keep up the hard work - it will pay off. Looks like things are going just like high school. Lots of miles upon miles upon miles until crunch time and then cut out the bottom. See you in about three weeks.

Etters told me about the race Dan. It sounds like with all the stuff that went on the perfect score just wasn't meant to be, oh well.
Will you be varsity for Paul Short? or open?
Keep up the good work.
