he final meet of the 2023 NVRC Indoor Mile Series was held in conjunction with the Sykes-Sabok Challenge Cup. There was a big field: Over 50 runners in three heats of the mile and one of the 3K run. The fast heat of the mile was run first since many of those runners were also competing in the 3K and would need the rest.
In the fast heat, Series leader Vince Fadale saved his trademark kick for the last quarter mile, but it was not quite enough to beat Nathan Allan, who took first in 4:28.43. Fadale was a close second in 4:28.95, and that time was enough to give him the overall Series win for best two combined times. Third place in the heat went to Tom Thomas in 4:35.21. All seventeen runners in the heat ran sub-5.
The second heat had the top three runners also go under 5. Tim Flynn won in 4:50.12. Second place went to Charles Wood in 4:55.08. Third was Jared Loeper in 4:59.10. The second heat was also the one for the Series leading women. Maggie Mahoney won the heat, her third victory this season, and with that the Series crown. Her time was 5:31.86. She was followed closely by Lexi Ambrogi in 5:32.44. Carly Shea wrapped up the Series Masters Women crown, posting a Series record time for a Masters Women’s Mile of 5:33.47. She broke her own record of last year. Her combined best two times also won her this year’s Series crown, though did not break her year-old record.
In the third heat, Hannah Bauer won in 5:54.01. Second place went to Christopher Sanders in 5:59.04. Scott Anthony took third place in 6:01.82. Two ability athletes participated today. Josh Cone pushed Jeff Coll to a time of 7:16.25, and Scott Etter pushed Jess Stetson to a time of 7:17.42.
There was a Predicted Time Contest associated with this meet’s mile heats. Carli Smith was the best prognosticator, running her mile in 7:29.72, just 0.28 seconds off her predicted time of 7:30. Hannah Ruisi was a close second, being just 0.39 seconds off her predicted time.The 3K race was crowded, and many of the runners were still recovering from their shots at a good mile time. The heat saw another record fall. Carly Shea, who had just run the record Series time for the Masters Women’s Mile, did the same in the 3K, posting a time of 10:56.26, almost a second ahead of her previous record. Maggie Mahoney was the top female finisher, finishing in 10:52.51. The top three male finishers in the race were Tom Thomas in 9:39.98, Westin Boyd in 9:45.83, and Patrick Driscoll in 9:48.77.
Thanks to all for a great showing and another great Series. See you next year!
