We had some competitors competing in very high-level meets this weekend.

Paul Coover ran at the USATF Club National Championships in New York City. He placed 16th overall in the 800 with a time of 1:58.63.

Not to be outdone, the old ‘uns competed at the IAAF WORLD Championships in Sacramento.

For these 5000-meter races held at Sac City College’s track the conditions were hot and windy for our guys’ heats.

Thom Trimble was in the second 50-54 heat of the 5000 and came in 9th overall with a time of 18:40.02 (24th overall).

Tim Keenan ran his 45-49 heat, also the second heat, and finished in 17:21.98 (third overall in his heat). He was 18th overall in his age group.

Nick Bingham had a very strong race in the 40-44 age group category and was 7th overall in 16:17.42.

Later that evening the action moved over to Sacramento State University’s track. Jeff Mann looked superb and rocked the semi-final of the 800 45-49 age group, popping a strong 2:04.86 mark, taking third overall in his heat and qualifying for the final round of the 800.

Matt Bogdanowicz ran in a loaded 40-44 heat and came in at 9th place with a 2:05.1 or a few hundredths less. He went out a little hard and had to fight his way home.

That’s about all I have for everyone for tonight. Just got in and my pillow is looking like a highly viable option at this point.

Cheers!
