I know that most people here aren't big track and field people, but if you get a chance, you should check out the ECAC/IC4A Track Day 1 Blog on LibertyFlames.com. Paul Carmany is doing a live blog of everything that's going on. It's funny, it's entertaining, and Paul knows track better than 90% of the people out there.
I'm very proud of you, SJ. Way to start a thread in the T&F forum.
I really should post more on here about the team, but a lot of the time, I feel like I am talking to myself.

I'm following T&F too. Checked in on the blog several times yesterday. Paul does do a great job. Looks like our men have got a great chance to win, leading now with 39 points to 27 for host team Princeton in second.
I checked out the Blog from time to time the last 3 days and whoever was posting did an excellent job in keeping me informed who was doing what and when. Our mens team lead throughout and UConn took it at the end due to strong relay teams. We were able to get a big lead in day 1 due to wins by Chelanga and Kigen and some good performances in the jumps but UConn took it in the end. Our womens team looked good and took 15th place. They seemed to do better in the running events and not so much in the field. UConn women also won for the sweep.

I've really developed an appreciation for track after working across the hall from Paul for a year. It's still not a go-to sport for me but I understand it a little more and definitely appreciate the feats even more.
I enjoy being at a quality track meet about as much as any sports event around with the obvious exception of football. I miss being at the Texas Relays every year. If you East Coasters ever get a chance to attend the Penn Relays it is worth investing the day. Events occurring all over the place ... its like a circus.
Penn is completely nuts. There are famous (track) people all over the infield all weekend. It's a great chance for the younger athletes to get a taste of the big time.
