Ben Sitler SJMN Athlete of the Week
From the San Jose Mercury News: "Saturday, Sitler ran a 66-second final lap to break the St. Francis Invitational meet record in the 3,000 meters at 8 minutes, 43.83 seconds, outrunning his nearest competition by more than 35 seconds. Sitler planned to run 70-second laps and work on his consistency. But during the race, Lancers Coach Brian Curley saw Sitler averaging 69s and told him to go for the record. ‘Ben shows every ounce of the discipline you'd find in a superior collegiate runner, and he's only a junior,’' Curley said. At the Mt. Pleasant Relays in February, he ran the second-fastest time this year in the Central Coast Section for the 1,600 meters at 4:17. Sitler's skills will be on display in Southern California this weekend at the Arcadia Invitational, the nation's most prestigious in-season meet." |
