Donaghue Wins Again

Rebecca Donaghue continued her strong season by heading to the Bucknell Winter Classic and winning the mile. If you remember, last year she took the hour trip down to Bucknell and set the facility record at the same meet running 4:42.13. This year produced more of the same as she won by 25 seconds in running 4:50.00. It was a tuneup for her upcoming 3000m at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships, February 24-25.

Big Racing Weekend

Well it was a big racing in Pennsylvania. With two huge meets going on different ends of Route 45. One is at Penn State, the Penn State National Invitational, and the other was at Buckenll, the Bison Open. There were fast times Firday at Saturday at both meets.

Andy Mazur got the weekend started off to a great start by finishing in fourth place in the Nittany Valley Mile with a 4:58.11. It was an 8-second improvement from his race two weeks ago.

Next up was Miesha Marzell in the invitational section in of the 5000m. She kept the fourth place feeling going as she turned in strong time of 17:06.27.

After Miesha, Artie Gilkes toed the line in the men's invitational section of the 5000m. After his strong performance in the First Night 5k, Artie raced to a 9th place finish in 14:55.80.

Now to Saturday's racing which included an array of fast 3ks and miles at both places. At the Bison Open, the Deep Six Racing team had a strong day in which many athletes turned in season's bests performances. Watch the videos and see the results from the team. Since there are videos to watch, I will not spoil you with the results from their races.

Back to the Penn State meet. Rebecca Donaghue kept her impressive season by bringing home a victory in the women's invitational 3k. She ran 9:22.46 to win by 17 seconds.

Dan Mazzocco also turned in stellar perfromance in the invitational 3k by running 8:16.76 for 5th place.
