The distance was in Boston chasing fast times with deep fields of collegiate and professional runners. In the mile, Savannah Roark (4:45), Amanda Vestri (4:47) and Abigail Spiers (4:49) turned in top-20 times in the ACC so far this season. For the men, Noah Carey (4:01) and Karl Winter (4:02) just missed becoming the latest Orange runners to go sub-4 in the mile. They, and others, will likely get two more shots at the BU track this season.
In the 3000m, Emma Eastman had a breakthrough time of 9:23 which is 9th in the ACC. For the men, Assaf Harari’s 8:02 (10th) and Alex Comerford’s 8:04 (12th) are top 15 in the conference.
The Orange will be back in action next weekend at Cornell and Boston.
