'KEENE, N.H. 9/30/06 - Running on their home course in ideal
conditions, Owl men's and women's cross country teams posted
victories at the 12th Annual Keene State College Invitational on
Saturday.
The Owl men placed five runners in the top-10 to edge Southern
Maine 35-33 to claim their 10th KSC Invitational
championship. Curtis Wheeler (Derby, Vt.) of Southern Maine
won the individual title with a time of 26:03 over the five mile
course.
Kevin Kelleher (Rocky Hill, Conn.)was the first Owl runner to
the finish line. He placed third in a time of 26:35.
Four Owls finished in succession; Patrick Davis (Wethersfield,
Conn.) was sixth (27:03), Jared Samuel (Londonderry, N.H.) took
seventh (27:16), Jason Garrity (Topsfield, Mass.) was eighth
(27:20), and Brock Welch (Merrimack, N.H.) finished in ninth place
(27:29).
Breanne Lucey (Keene, N.H.) breezed to the individual title to
lead the Owl women to their first KSC title since 2003. Lucey
posted a time of 17:59 to beat teammate Jennifer Adams (Saratoga
Springs, N.Y. / 18:27) by 28 seconds.
Lucey said she was unfamiliar with the course." I didn't have an
idea what to expect. I don't run the course and when I was warming
up I got lost," said Lucey, who played soccer for the women's
soccer team in the afternoon. But it's flat and I excel on
flat courses. The race felt great. I kept a consistent
pace and had some energy at the end."
Lucey said the race was a good warm-up for the soccer
game. "Usually after I run and got right into a game I have
my better games," she said. I'm pumped."
Other top finishers for KSC include: Stephanie Westcott
(Bellows Falls, Vt.) (5th/19:18). Sophie Holly (Ledyard, Conn.)
(6th/19:49), and Rita Marcotte (Heath, Mass.)(11th/20:21).
Coach Peter Thomas was pleased with the performance of his
women's team. "It was a great race for the women," Thomas
said. "It was a good steeping stone for us, especially the
freshmen runners."
He wasn't happy with his men's team. "They didn't run up to
their capabilities," Thomas said. "Fortunately, it's
September. We have a ways to go."
Men's Team Scoring: Keene State (33), Southern Maine (35),
and Tufts (57).
Men's Individual: Curtis Wheeler (USM) 26:03; Nick Wheeler
(USM) 26:24, Kevin Kelleher (KSC) 26:35, Chris Hopkins (USM) 26:54;
