W&M Athletes High on Annual US Track Lists
With the World Athletics Final today marking the last track meet of the year, it is appropriate to look back at W&M times for the year. Assistant Coach Ed Moran '03 was 3rd on the 2007 US list (and 56th on the world list) in the 10K with his 27:43.13 (the fastest 10K ever run by a W&M athlete) while Keith Bechtol '07 was 36th with 28:55.57. In the 5K, Moran was 8th with his 13:20.35 and Sean Graham '04 was 10th with his 13:23.50. In the 3K Graham had the 9th fastest US time with 7:47.69 and Moran was 13th with his 7:50.34. While there are still plenty of marathons to be run with the Olympic Trials just a little over a month away, Jacob Frey '04 is currently 3rd on the list with a 2:16.44. The men's 4x800 was the 13th fastest in the US in 7:24.97 while the women garnered the same number in the 4x1500 with a 18:31. Finally Bonnie Meekins '07 in winning the ECAC Heptathlon was 25th with her school record of 5457. Many of these links above contain gun to finish video coverage of the races. For the annual US men's list go here and here for the women.
