Connecticut Relay Teams Perform Well at Nike Nationals

As the Nike Outdoor National Track Championships resumed Friday, Connecticut runners continued to perform well.  In the Mens 4x200m Relay, Weaver HS placed 3rd with a state record tying time of 1:27.50.  On Saturday, Weaver's Daundre Barnaby will compete in the mens individual 400m.  Earlier this year at the Hartford Public High School Invitational Outdoor Track and Field Meet, Barnaby posted a time of 46.35 in the 400m.  Connecticut runners continued their success when the Hamden Mens 4x800m Relay team, consisting of Pat Cyr, Chris FitzSimons, Nick Saba, and Kevin Tran,  placed 9th out of 22 teams with a time of 7:50.42.  Less than one week earlier, Hamden won the 4x800m relay at the New England Interscholastic Track Championships, edging out Glastonbury with a time of 7:49.61.  For complete results from the 2009 Nike Outdoor National Track Championships click here.
