FESTIVAL OF MILES at St. Louis University


Updated on 06/10/2022

Congratulation!

Mason Gatewood on a 1st place with 4:07.00 and Matthew Payamps 2nd with a 4:08.32.

After each season several of the nation's top distance running talent makes the trip to St. Louis for the famed Festival of Miles. This is truly a PR Meet, as a lot of these runners don't get the chance to face competition at or above their level throughout their regular track seasons. It's a really great experience for athletes and fans to see these top level kids competing against each other chasing PR's.

Missouri will be represented by Class 4 1600 & 3200 State Champion Ryan Riddle. Last weekend Riddle had a HUGE PR of 4:08.42 in the 1600, in a race where he was unchallenged from start to finish. Riddle will match up with Mason Gatewood (St. Anthony's - NY) who placed third at the New York Public School's State Championship last year and holds a Mile PR of 4:12. Also in the race is Carter Dillon of Mountain Vista, Colorado who holds a PR of 4:12. There's also a pacer, so we really could see Riddle achieve a decent PR tonight.

Andrew O'Keefe crosses the river to join in on the fun, as well. The Granite City (IL) junior is coming off of a second place finish at the IHSA 3A State Championship in his personal best 4:11.68. It was a narrow loss to superstar Dylan Jacobs, but O'Keefe proved he can compete with the best of them. Also from Illinois is Whitney Young's Samuel Rivera. Rivera makes the trip down from Chicago, bringing a 4:13.47 1600 personal best, to throw his name in the ring for the win, too. 

Scott Thompson will make an appearance, as well. The senior from Brentwood (TN) brings his own 4:11.43 season best to the party, but ran his personal best full mile of 4:08.22 at this Festival of Miles last year, taking second overall to his teammate Brodey Hasty. Hasty will not be competing here this year, but will instead be at the Music City Distance Festival on Saturday. 

Several other athletes from Colorado bring altitude converted times down from the mountains and should be in on the front pack action, with Ben KelleyEaston AllredDrew Seidel, and Caden Foster highlighting the Centennial State's contingent. 

Carter Cheeseman makes the trip of from Texas. After dominating the TAPPS scene, the junior from Fort Worth Christian brings a 4:14.76 that he ran at least year's Festival. He has run 8:54 for 3200 and 14:42 for 5K this spring and should be a formidable opponent even though he is somehow seeded last.

Season Review


Updated on 06/10/2022

With their win on May 19th, the boys track team completed the League Championship triple crown with wins in Cross Country, Winter and Spring. It was also the teams' 10th Spring League Championship in a row, giving them the longest win streak and the only school to accomplish 10 wins in NSCHSAA history.  Highlights of the season include the distance medley relay of Mason Gatewood, Michael Barbaro Barnett, Brendan Dearie and Matthew Payamps breaking the State Catholic Schools record, and by virtue of Gatewood and Payamps' 1-2 finish in the 2 mile at the prodigious Loucks Games in 8:55 and 8:56, the Friars now have more boys under 9 minutes for 2 miles than any school in State History with 6. We finished first at leagues and took third the CHSAA City Intersectionals this year. 

Several of the boys will be competing in the National Championships in North Carolina on June 8-9th.

Head Coach Tim Dearie


 

Success at Loucks Games


Updated on 06/10/2022

Boys Track had a historic night at The Loucks Games on May 11, 2018. The 2 mile has become the premier race for that Distance on the East Coast. Qualifying for it is a good thing in itself. Breaking 9:00 is super elite and one of the goals in the race. Both Mason Gatewood and Matt Payamps finished 1-2, they ran 8:55 and 8:56. Six boys broke the magical barrier. The Friars have now had more boys under 9:00  than any other HS in NY State History.
