As we head into the Big East Conference meet, I thought I would post a preview and provide some insight into what we have been doing over the last few weeks. Also, I am including a preview of the Big East Championships that was posted on the web-site: trackshark.com(one of my favorites).
Men-
The men seem to get stronger and stronger with each passing week. I think we are definitely ready for our best meet of the season. We had an outstanding week of practice last week. Nick Szczech has had somewhat of a disappointing season thus far, however he has looked fantastic the last few workouts. His swagger his back and he will be a huge difference maker for us. Kyle continues to impress as well as Brice Cleland. Kyle will be shooting for an All-Big East Conference performance(top 15). Also, Mark Kopecki had his best workout of the season last week, so things seem to be coming around at the right time. As everyone knows, the Big East is one of the most competitive conferences in the nation for XC, if not the most competitive. There is a good shot that six men's teams will qualify for nationals from the Big East. We placed 7th last season at the conference XC championships. We are predicted to finish 8th this season. I feel like we can place higher than 8th, but we'll have to run well to do it. Let's go RACE!!!
Women-
Just like the men, the women continue to get stronger in their workouts. The pre-nationals race was not a good indicator of how good we really are. This women's team should really turn some heads at the Big East Championships. We had a fantastic workout last Wednesday. The women did 2x2 miles w/ 5 min recovery between. The first one was at tempo pace and the second one was supposed to be hard, but under control. We did the first one on the Cudahy bike path and the second one was on Cudahy High School's track. Our top 5 women ran 11:32 on the first one and they all ran 11:17 on the second one. Five women running strong, 11:17 for 5 women!! Last year, our 5th woman ran 11:50 in this workout(and the weather was better last year). Needless to say, I'm very excited to see what this group can do at conference.
Here is the humerus preview from trackshark.com:
Big East – The Bronx, NY
Cincinnati, Connecticut, DePaul, Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, Seton Hall, South Florida, St. John's University (New York), Syracuse, Villanova, West Virginia
Where does one begin trying to sort out the humongous Big East? Tenth ranked Georgetown is the clear favorite, but where to go from there? How about we go to reader, Luke Rygh, for some analysis:
“The first 7 spots are pretty much on lock with Georgetown, Louisville, Syracuse, Villanova, Providence, Notre Dame and Cincinnati. I know that won't be the order, but that's the top half of the conference. I'm here to help you with 8-14. USF is holding down the fort in the 14th, with Seton Hall falling in right at 13. From 8-12 is pretty up for grabs. Marquette looks like it has the best chance to grab the 8th spot because of Kyle Saginus running up front, but a bad race by their 3-5 guys could cost them. Pitt, DePaul, Uconn and Rutgers are all vying for that 9th, potential 8th spot. DePaul has the victory over Pitt at the conference course at the Fordham Fiasco, but Pitt has also showed they have gotten stronger. Rutgers has also shown in the past they have a strong finish to their season and will be right in the mix with Pitt and DePaul, along with UCONN who usually has a solid group of runners. There you go. It's the best I got.”
Thank you Luke, but what about those basketball teams? You have to believe they are getting 9 teams into the tournament this year. That is one tough basketball conference! Which is more difficult: Being in the Big East for basketball, the SEC for football, or the MAC for a "delusional athletic director and a mismanaged shitstorm of an athletic program budget" contest?
Pick: Georgetown

Pre-Nationals Re-Cap
The NCAA pre-national meet is always one of the most exciting meets of the year. There are approximately 85 teams split into two different races. You have the opportunity to watch some of the best athletes in the nation compete and you get a great idea of where your teams fits in on the national stage. Besides a few major hiccups, I thought we ran pretty well. I'll go through each race and each individual.
Women-
If you looked at the results, you would have two questions: What happened to Jayne? What happened to Olivia? We are still trying to figure that out. In a nutshell, our top runner dropped out of the race and our number 2 girl walked the last 400m. Your team score tends to suffer when this happens. If you would have taken the team scores at 4k, we would have placed 15th-17th. Jayne and Olivia were running right next to Laurie. We ended up placing 26th(which still isn't that bad). We looked great until around 5k, when things started to unravel. Neither girl had any sort of injury, my honest guess is that the pressure got to them. Both of them went into panic mode when they started getting passed. They began to hyperventilate and the body systems started to shut down. I had to carry Jayne off the course and into the medical tent. When I looked up after setting Jayne on the table, I saw two other trainers dragging Olivia into the tent. This was definitely a scary moment for a coach. For the most part, the other girls ran well. I think both Jayne and Olivia will bounce back from this episode. We'll make a few changes in race strategy for conference. Hopefully nothing like this ever happens again.
93 Laurie Dalrymple So. 21:46 (Great race for this young lady. I was impressed with her toughness. She normally isn't our number one, but she stepped up and did a great job).
113 Anna Weber Jr. 22:00 (Not a great race for her. I expected her to be 20-30 spots higher)
120 Amanda Beggs Jr. 22:06 (Solid race for her. I think she can run a little better, but she improved her placing from last year by 45 spots. I'll take that any day).
182 Maureen Keane So. 22:38 (Great race for this young lady. She had no idea she was our 4th runner).
211 Kate Horan Fr. 22:55 (Nice race for this freshmen. She is normally our 8th girl and today she was our 5th girl. She is tough when it counts).
272 Olivia Johnson So. 24:33 (She'll recover from this quickly).
Open Race-
Sarah Verdoliva Jr. 23:11 (Nice final race for this first-time XC runner. She'll come back next season much stronger and wiser).
Courtney Kelly Fr. 23:25 (Getting better each week. Still has more in the tank).
Dani Owen So. 23:43 (Ran about 40 seconds slower than last year. Disappointing season thus far).
Bekki Misanin Fr. 23:46 (Nice race for this freshmen).
Men-
Overall, I was pretty happy with the men's performance. We finished a little lower than we did last year, but we still ran strong considering how many injury/illness issues we have dealt with recently. The competition is so tough at this meet and I think our men responded well to the challenge. In general, times were 20-30 seconds slower than last year. I think the wind played a big part in slowing things down. Kyle Saginus has established himself as a serious threat to qualify individually for nationals.
63 Kyle Saginus Sr. 24:35 (Great race for Kyle. He ran a few seconds faster than he did last year in much slower conditions. He's running great right now!).
104 Brice Cleland So. 24:57 (Brice was disappointed with his time because its about the same time he ran last year, but once again, the conditions weren't nearly as favorable. He placed about 50 spots higher than last year).
171 Nick Szczech So. 25:28 (Still not quite where we want him, but at least he ran a better race. He's starting to look better in practice, hopefully that translates into the races).
203 Blake Johnson Fr. 25:44 (Nice race for this freshmen. I think he can still go much faster, but this was a much better effort than Notre Dame. He will be ready to PR at conference).
229 Drew Craig Sr. 26:04 (Not as good as Notre Dame, but still a solid race for him. He had the race of his life at Notre Dame, so thats hard to live up to).
247 Keith Schueller Fr. 26:15 (Very solid effort for this freshmen. He takes care of business).
259 Mark Kopecki Sr. 26:44 (Very disappointing effort for him. Things have not gone well this season. Hopefully he can turn it around at conference).
Open Race-
Dominick Rosario Fr. 26:25 (Great effort for this young man. He did a great job leading this pack).
Patrick Keeley Fr. 26:38 (Was hoping for a little more from him, but not a bad effort. He can go faster).
Steve Briggs Sr. 26:54 (Disappointing end to his season and career at Marquette. Unless someone in front of him gets hurt, he will not be going to conference).
Garrett McKnight Fr. 27:15 (Starting to run out of gas. He's more of a middle distance runner, but I have been happy with his season. He'll train through conference and then start focusing on track. He'll be an 800m/1500m specialist for us. Good season for this freshman).

Beat 1 – On Campus
by Erynn James
Note: Junior high jumper Erynn James is taking a Journalism class this semester and part of the class involved being a "beat writer" for some aspect of Marquette University or the surrounding community. One of Erynn's beats is the Track and Field team. She will be providing periodic articles for the Coaches Blog on the MU Track and Field team.
As the Marquette University track and field team gets ready for the upcoming season, more is done this year to prepare.
“I’m really excited for the upcoming season,” Bert Rogers, head coach, said. “You have to learn to temper your excitement throughout the season so you don’t get excited at once and burn out by the end.”
While the team starts fall practice, four new athletes have been added since the Friday, Sept. 12 tryouts.
The athletes include two freshman males, Matthew D’Arcy, a distance runner and James Muehleman, a jumper; one sophomore male, Albojay Deacon, a sophomore triple and long jumper, and one freshman female, Carly Condon, a middle distance runner.
The tryouts lasted for five days with time trials and jumping competitions.
Along with new athletes, a fresh face was added to the staff.
Ken Hunt has been added as assistant coach this year. “I have know Ken as a collegiate and elite competitor,” said Rogers, “I know he’ll fit in well.”
Hunt, an elite triple jumper and former coach for Milwaukee King high school, will be coaching the women’s and men’s horizontal jumps and short sprints. Hunt also hopes to be competing in the triple jump at the U.S. National meet this year. He qualifed Indoors last year.
The track season officially starts after fall break. The team will not begin to travel until December. Until then, according to Rogers, the team will be working on conditioning based on events. “We don’t have specific goals as of now,” said Rogers. “Our overall goal is to improve. I want to improve our standing in the Big East. With the talent on this team I think we can definitely achieve this goal.”

Re-cap of Notre Dame Invitational
10/3/08
Notre Dame Invitational- South Bend, Indiana
Weather/Conditions: 60 degrees, light breeze. Ground was fairly hard. Great day for XC racing.
Men-
Well, things didn't quite go according to plan. Definitely walked away from this one disappointed. Overall, it wasn't that bad, 7 of the 10 guys that we raced set PR's. Unfortunately, the ones who didn't PR were our 2,4,5 runners. We got last in the Blue Race. This was definitely the most competitive meet in the nation. One thing I was happy with is the fact that we had 4 true freshmen run between 25:50 and 26:10. Here were the places and times:
41 Kyle Saginus, Sr. 24:30 PR (Great Race, right where we wanted him).
70 Brice Cleland, So. 24:48 PR (Great Race, moved up throughout the race).
137 Drew Craig, Sr. 25:29 PR (Best Race I have ever seen from him).
160 Blake Johnson Fr. 25:53 PR(Not what we wanted. I expected him to run 20-30 sec faster)
164 Keith Schueller, Fr. 25:59 PR (Great race for this freshmen).
165 Mark Kopecki, Sr. 26:00 (Ran 30-40 seconds slower than what we wanted. Was sick).
174 Dominick Rosario, Fr. 26:09 PR (Great Race for this freshmen).
190 Nick Szczech, So. 26:32 (This was over 2 minutes slower than what we wanted. This is what killed our team. Something is wrong and we need to figure it out now!)
Open Race-
Patrick Keeley, Fr. 26:09 (Great Race for this freshmen).
Garrett McKnight, Fr. 26:50 (Was running great until his hamstring started acting up around 3 miles, otherwise he was right with Patrick).
No excuses, No explanations. We'll run much better at Pre-Nationals!
Women-
I was also a little disappointed with this group. We got out way to slow. It looked like our whole team was running in last place after 100m. Our top 5 women came through the mile in 5:40 and that put them in the 100's. They looked a little shell-shocked during the race. We looked like this at the Bill Dellinger meet last season, but we just continued getting better from there. Like the men, this group will run much better at Pre-Nationals. Overall, I was happy with many of their efforts, however there are a few that really need to step it up. I am happy with our team depth. We had 11 women under 19:00 for 5k and we don't lose any of them for next season. Here are their places and performances:
71 Anna Weber, Jr. 17:43 (Good race for Anna, but not great. She can run better)
74 Jayne Grebinski, Jr. 17:45 (Very disappointed with this effort. She ran 16:45 on the track last spring. She should have run 20-30 seconds faster. We have to get tougher!!)
76 Laurie Dalrymple, So. 17:46 (Good race for her. Happy with the effort)
84 Olivia Johnson, So. 17:49 (Expected more from her. This was her first big DI race. She'll get better and better)
85 Amanda Beggs, Jr. 17:51 (Good race for her. She can run better, but this was a solid start)
144 Maureen Keane, So. 18:31 (Good race for her)
150 Sarah Verdoliva, So. 18:37 (Great race for this being her 3rd XC race ever. This was probably her last race of the season)
151 Kristin Pelzel, So. 18:37 (Disappointed with this effort. Chronic injury problems don't allow her to train much. This might be her last race of the year??)
157 Kate Horan, Fr. 18:42 (Big PR for this young lady. Hard worker and tough)
Open Race-
Courtney Kelly, Fr. 18:45 (Nice race for this Freshman. She'll continue to get better. Had some illness issues for a couple weeks earlier in the season. Doing much better.
Bekki Misanin, Fr. 19:00 (Nice race for this Freshman, should continue to develop)
This Group is good enough to make it to nationals, however we need more help up front. We can't get to nationals with our #1 runner finishing in the 70's in a race like this.
