Swarthmore Last Chance Meet: McEntee, Lampron (& Malone?)

Sam McEntee at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championship meet

Several of the Villanova men traveled over to the Swarthmore Last Chance meet this afternoon in search of NCAA regional qualifying times.  Sam McEntee won the 1500 in 3:44.69, placing him at #24 in the East region.  Josh Lampron ran unattached and went 3:46.09 to finish second overall.  Of note, one future Wildcat -- prep senior Ben Malone -- competed as well and set a New Jersey state high school record over 1500 in running 3:46.97 (equivalent to a 4:04.7 mile).  It's the #1 prep time in the USA so far this outdoor season.  Here are the Villanova results:
