McEntee, Sheridan, and Denault Post Fast Times in Big Apple

A large contingent of Marcus O'Sullivan's men's team competed tonight at the Albany Great Dane indoor meet at the Armory in New York. The most noteworthy result of the meet from the Villanova perspective was the NCAA #4 performance of Sam McEntee in the 3000 meters. McEntee, a sophomore from Perth in Western Australia, won the race and came home in 8:13.93. In the same race, Rob Denault, running unattached, finished 2nd in 8:15.72, a mark that currently is the 8th fastest time in the NCAA so far this season. Also providing a win for the Wildcats was graduate student Ryan Sheridan (pictured left battling former Nova teammate Hugo Beamish). He won the 5000 meters by a whopping 18 seconds in 14:18.66, #6 in the NCAA to date. Greg Morrin (14:37.33), Matt Kane (14:38.50, and Brian Basili (14:38.68) also ran well, gaining Big East championship qualifying times.

Big East qualifying times were hit by Alex Tully (4:12.88), Joe LoRusso (3:13.69) Richie Bohny (4:18.80), and Danny Harris (4:15.83) in the mile, by Sam McEntee (8:13.93) and Rob Denault (8:15.72) in the 3000 meters, Ryan Sheridan (14:18.66), Greg Morrin (14:37.33), Matt Kane (14:38.50), and Brian Basili (14:38.68), and Frank Anuszewski (54'1") in the weight throw.
