Indoor news - March - 2007

**New interview up with Amber Riley**

Kaylyn Christopher commits to WVU!!! She has decided to stay in-state (which should please a lot of fans) and she's going to be joining a slew of West Virginia talent like Clara Grandt, Keri Bland, Alison Spiker, Maria Dalzot, Kerry Davis, Maria Stover, Nicole Lemal, Karly Hamric, Kaite Burda, Jamie Cokley, Ahna Lewis and Stephanie Caruso to form one badass Cross Country team. This is awesome news and congrats to Kaylyn and WVU.After the debacle in Saturdays relay event, Kaylyn Christopher came back to run in the open mile against the nations best. She ran an indoor PR and finished 2nd in her heat with a 5:02.

Four of Preston's girls went to the Nike Indoor Nationals to compete in the 4 x 1600m. Everything started off ok with Jordan Hamric leading off the relay. She handed off to Ari Kasprowicz who the officials only made run 7 laps instead of eight. To make up for it they made the next runner, Ashley Teets run 9 laps (1 lap longer). Ashley handed off to Kaylyn who thought she was DQd but kept running anyway. They finished the race in 8th place but have been taken out of the results completely. The Preston coaches appealed but I guess it was all for nothing. It sucks to have a chance to earn All-American honors only to have it ruined by bad officials.

Tyler DeVault competed at the NCAA Indoor Nationals this weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was the anchor leg of the DMR. It seems that they had some problems after the 800m leg tripped leaving Tyler all alone once he got the baton. He had to play catch up but that's pretty hard to do when your running against the nations best milers. His team ended up 10th place.

** New Interview with Andrew Benford!!**

Heard on the message board: Kaylyn Christopher is said to have the biggest mouth in Northern WV after stuffing 14 donuts holes into her mouth. Word from the south was that Rachel Riley from Midland can stuff at least 16 into her mouth and a challenge has been thrown down for after the state meet. Can anyone oppose Kaylyn?...I think this guy maybe.

Tyler DeVault had an awe inspiring race this past weekend at Notre Dame as he split 3:59 in the DMR to help his team qualify for NCAA Indoor Nationals. You can WATCH the race and see Tyler chase down some of the best runners in the country the last 200 meters. Awesome!!!

Some of WV's finest competed in the NACAC cross country race this past weekend with some impressive results. Everyone's favorite runner from North Marion (no not you Zach) Keri Bland was 4th place in the Junior Women's race, not far behind WVU's Marie-Louise Asselin who finished 2nd. Rebecca Stallwood went out hard to establish herself up front in the Senior Women's race and ended up finishing 7th overall (and Sam was really proud).

Rickey Moore went out to LA this past weekend to run his debut marathon. His goal was to run 2:22 to try to hit the Olympic Trials standard and looked to be easily under until the last 4 miles or so. Check out his post on the message board which will fill you in on his thoughts about the race.

Eric Ryan shows his last mile race was no fluke as he once again manages to get under 4:15. This past weekend he was at IC4A's with his Cornell team where he ran 4:14 in a tactical mile.

The WVU ladies went up to Boston where they competed in their last indoor race of the year at the ECAC's. Former Doddridge Co. runner Clara Grandt showed she is tough as nails as she went out in 5:05 in the 3K, but with 550 meters to go she tripped over the railing and fell onto the infield. After the initial shock wore off she jumped back into the race and still managed to run 9:41. Luckily Clara has been practicing falling over things on runs so she was more than prepared. Alison Spiker finally got under 5 min for the mile as she ran 4:58 with Maria Stover not far back in 4:59.

A few WVIAC runners went to the Virginia Tech Last Chance meet where Corey Mehl ran 4:27 for the mile with Lance McDaniel breathing down his neck in 4:29. Former Midland runner Brandon Scarberry ripped off a new PR in the 800 with a 1:59 and Forrest Boggess took some time out of his modeling career to run a 2:02.West Virginia Weleyan's team fled the state during this wonderful blizzard and ended up in FL for Spring Break. But they haven't been spending all their time at the beach getting tans, they were over at Florida State for the first outdoor meet of the year. Eric Cooper looks to be getting back in action (after not being able to workout because of a bad back) as he ran 15:31 for the 5K. He led the way for Justin Coughlin who followed close behind with a 15:37. After the fall and winter performances this looks to be one of the best groups to ever go through Wesleyan.

Indoors news - Feb 2007

**New Interviews up with Josh Feathers and David Bias**

For those who have never seen the Steeplechase and were thinking about doing it.

In a rare indoor race Marshall's Mens team went to Ohio State to shake some of the dust off their legs. Former Midland standout Josh Holley went 9:26 for the 3K beating out teammates Scott McGee and Travis Epling by less than a second.

WVW took their guys and gals over to Kent State for some impressive results. They had runners blaze to some quick times in the 400m. Woody Snoberger, who was WVW's most valuable runner at the Conference meet in Cross Country, ran 15:42 in the 5K. It's nice to see Mikey Cox back in action with an 8:26 in the 3K followed by Pat Regean who trumped his 5K with a new PR of 8:37. Amanda Griffith set the WVW school record in the 5K running a 17:58.

The day before the Big East, Akron hosted an open meet which saw some great results for WV runners. Marie Asseline ran a smokin' 3K in 9:36 and University High school runner Amber Riley ran 5:12 for the mile. The womens 800 saw Rebecca Stallwood running 2:17 followed closely behind by Amber Riley running a 2:17 as well. Morgantown genius Jay Dolmage crushed the field in the 3K running an awesome 8:31. WVU headed over to Akron for the Big East Championships and Clara Grandt ran an outstanding 16:57 for the 5K. WVU's women's DMR finished with a strong 6th place with Maria Stover chasing down the field with a 4:58 anchor split in the mile.

***New Interview with Kaylyn Christopher.***

*Check out the preview to the movie they are making about the 2007 Winter Cross Country Nationals Zach wasn't the only one to run at Winter Cross Country Nationals this past weekend.
Keri Bland finished a butt kicking 8th in the Jr. race (she's waiting to find out if she gets to go to Worlds) while Maria Delzot finished 23rd dressed as Zorro. Josh Simpson started hyperventelating due to the altitude but once he had his breathing under control he jumped back in to finish 45th. Jenn Davis finished 30th in the womens race but I think she spent most of her time playing in the mud.

One race that went under the radar was Eric Ryan's 4:13 mile at Penn State. A year's worth of set backs is a lot to suffer through. Most people would've packed it in but Eric kept on plugging and now has a new PR to show for his determination. It's nice to see things back on track for Eric and lets hope this is the first of many great races to come.

*One of the greatest music video's ever made by one of the greatest runners ever made. Can you handle this much AWESOME!

Marshall Univeristy headed to Clemson for their weekend competition. Marian Brooks continues to rewrite the record book at Marshall as she blazed to a 10:11 in the 3K finishing 2nd place.

WVU women's squad went to Penn State for the weekend to compete. Clara Grandt came away with a huge PR in the 3K, shuffling her way to a 9:46 (which is about a 10:24 2 mile). Nicole Lemal cruised to a PR in the mile with a 5:14 while Kerry Davis continues her winter breakthrough with a 5:20 mile. Karly Hamric ran the 600 but I'm not telling you what she ran because I don't count that as a distance race. Maria Stover and Alison Spiker battled it out again in the 800 with Stover running 2:19 and Spiker 2:17.

Marietta hosted one of it's winter indoor meets which saw some runners from the University of Charleston competing in the distance races. John Hull set the Marietta school record in the 5K with a 16:04 while Rebekah Daniels won the 800 with a 2:38. Former Midland runner Brandon Scarberry took the 800 and runner/model (not the other way around) Forrest Boggess was only a few seconds back. Corey Mehl went unchallenged in the 3K winning with a time of 9:25.

Kaylyn Christopher ran at Kent State under the infamous Notserp Track Club. She won the mile with a 5:09 just barely edging out second place by 20 seconds.

WV FLyers hosted a meet in Morgantown Friday night which saw cross country champ Amber Riley winning the 800 with a big kick. Monica Chase had an awesome race in the 1600 running a very quick 5:16. She was followed by Jordan Hamric in 5:24, Emma Berry - 5:25, Stephanie Caruso - 5:26, Ahna Lewis 5:30 and Allison Pettit - 5:31. Also, Zach Tennant snagged a nice PR in the 1600 with a 4:48.

WVU hosted it's own College meet which saw a slew of ladies trying to break 5 min in the mile with pacing from Jenn Davis. Alison Spiker was at 5:01, Clara Grandt at 5:00 and Maria Stover just dipped under with a 4:59. Kerry Davis had a breakthrough race in the 3K running 10:32 with Alison Teter not far behind in 10:50. Justin Coughlin from WVW had a good race in the mile running 4:29 with Josh Feathers of Preston County only a few clicks back. The mens 3K had Josh Simpson and Zach Sabatino getting in a nice effort before their workout and Jay Dolmage taking the 3rd spot with an 8:42.

Marshall University made their way to Akron where Marian Brooks blazed to a new school record in the mile. Also in a attendance was former West Virginia Wesleyan runner Pat Reagan who blasted off a 14:43 in the mens 5K.

Tennessee men - including WV runners Tyler Devault and Ben Lukowski - ran at the Armory in NY this past weekend for the New Balance Games. Tyler had a good race in the mens mile with a 4:07.

*Check out this amazing video of Jim Ryun running the mile. He's on a cinder track running solo and has one of the greatest finishes I've ever seen.

After an easy win in the 5K an Kent State a few weeks ago Rickey Moore flew down to Texas to compete in the 3M Austin Half Marathon where he finished 16th running a quick 4:56 pace for over 13 miles (1:04.46 total time). Congrats to Rickey on a great race.

Marshall University ran at ETSU this past weekend and Marion Brooks was by far the highlight of the meet winning the women's mile with a PR of 5:09 leaving the rest of the field 10 seconds behind. Congrats!

The Penn State National Open (Men - Women) saw the WVU ladies and some Unattached runners from the Morgantown area competing in the distance races. Marie Asseline won her heat of the Mile with a 4:52 while Keri Bland cranked out a 9:43 for the 3K. Rebecca Stallwood had a good showing in the 5K running 16:43. On the guys side Josh Simpson ran 14:27 for the 5K while his brother Travis continues his solid indoor campaign with a 15:18. Zach Sabatino ran the 3K and finished with a strong 8:15 which was good for 3rd. There was a lot more action than that so be sure to check out the full results.Shocking News!! After listening to Josh complain the past few days I've finally gotten off my lazy butt and updated this thing. Sorry for letting things slack. We've had some really good performances the last few week that we didn't get highlighted and I'm sorry about that. Hopefully from here on out we can get rolling with this thing.

Indoors news - Jan 2007

The WV Flyers hosted their first indoor track meet Friday night. Even though it was a small meet, there were still some outstanding performances. Kaylyn Christopher won the mile with a solo 5:10 in her first race since the Cross Country state meet. Levi Grandt showed he's been taking the winter serious with a win in the 1600m clocking a 4:35 (followed closely by Josh Feathers in 4:36 and Travis Simpson in 4:37). He also came back to win the 800. North Marion standout Zach Tennant cruised to a victory in the 3200. I have no idea where you can find results for this meet. It may be up on the WV Flyers page later.

The Ryan Jobes Memorial 5K (honoring the memory of fallen runner Ryan Jobes who was killed in a car accident last year) kicked off it's first year with a good start. Plenty of runners made an appearance to show their support with Zach Sabatino and Jenn Davis (the Ken and Barbie of WV distance running) taking top honors for the men and women races.

Indoor Track has officially started with a few meets before the Christmas break. Marietta hosted the Early Bird which had a few WVIAC schools in attendance. Ryan Skotnicki (who I thought was dead) made an appearance in the 3K.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Athlete of the Week chosen?
--AotW is awarded to the West Virginia who has the most outstanding week in distance running. If an athlete gets on a roll, they can win the award several weeks in a row. This is a subjective award.

What is the "Arb?"
--The Arb is short for the Core Arboritum. The most popular running site in Morgantown, this small area of trails has seen countless workouts. The service road is the section commonly referred to as the Arb Hill.

What is the history behind the Arb... I mean the website, not the park in Morgantown.
--The Arb was started in late 2005 by a pair of post-collegiate runners in West Virginia. Over time, their interest waned and "W" picked up the AotW as well as admin of the message board. As his interest wanes, duties are passed on to other responsible runners.

I can't stand the Arb Message Board, what's the deal with it?
--The message board traces its roots back to the old WV Runners Directory, founded in 2000. It certainly has an element of anarchy to it, and is not going to suit everyone's tastes. The rules are posted in the link at the top of the board. If you get distressed about the attitudes on the board, please email the administrator and they will see what can be done. As with most things on the internet, the most effective thing to do is to not visit the board if it upsets you too much.
