CSL Triangular #1 vs. Niles West and Highland Park

This Tuesday, the Titans ran a fantastic first triangular against the Niles West Wolves and the Highland Park Giants. Many PRs were set, and for many, this was a great opportunity to run a new race for the first time.

The 4x800m relay started us off fast with great performances at the varsity and frosh/soph level. Lucas Houser deserves a shoutout for his stellar performance as the leading leg, running a 2:10 in his second meet back from a torn meniscus. Great job, Luke! 

Our longer distance runners showed off their pack running in the 3200m. At the varsity level, John Paul Philbrick and Matthew Penne raced it out to finish 2nd and 3rd in times of 11:00 and 11:01 respectively. At the frosh/soph level, birthday boy James Hiltebrand dominated, taking 1st with a massive PR.

Our mid-distance runners competed well in the 800m, all setting PRs. Freshman Jovan Gvero was the sole GBS runner in the frosh/soph race, running his first 800m ever.

Only 3 Titans competed in the 1600, but Jacob Baim, Will Patton, and Jack Callaghan stuck together well, all finishing within 2 seconds of one another after a tight race. They finished in 8th, 9th, and 10th respectively.

In the 400m, Jayson Stamm took a stab at sprinting, running a 58.12 to lead the Titans.

To finish out the night was the 4x400m, which is always a highlight of any track meet. 

Amazing job to all who competed! Those who didn't race this Tuesday will be running at the Conant Invitational on Friday night.
