aGSTC Brings 110 Volunteers to adidas Grand Prix
NYC- The three-year contract with adidas asks the club to bring thirty volunteers, but instead…they brought 110.
Had you been at the adidas Grand Prix Diamond League meet Saturday afternoon, you would have seen a lot of familiar faces. Club members were everywhere, helping fetch shot puts, assisting the NBC news crew, selling programs in the stands, drug testing athletes, checking in adidas VIPs, selling tickets….you name it, the GSTC was doing it for the second best track and field meet in North America. Dozens of the world's best professional athletes were competing, and the club was there to
The meet’s highlight, for many, was the high jump. This was the first track meet in the history of the sport where two athletes cleared 2.42m, or 7’-11”. After that, Bohdan Bondarenko and Mutaz Essa Barshim went after the next height- 2.43m- both with hopes to break the world record. And, who, you ask, was working the electronic results and scoreboard just feet away from this historic high jump duel? Erin LaCosta and Kelsey Lewis, two GSTC high jumpers!
4x400 Action at AGP: Women Grab 2nd
NYC- The adidas GSTC women’s relay ran the second fastest time in club history yesterday, grabbing second in the Metro Women’s 4x400 with a time of 3:48.91. This was the first year the club had a women’s 4x400 at the event.
Haisha Bisiolu got the ladies rolling with a 56.5, and Jamesha Richard moved the ladies into 2nd with a 56.0 leg. After a 61.5 split from Robyn Evangelist, who found out just Thursday that she was running, Jenn Edobi reeled in Wave TC with a sizzling 54.1 anchor leg to bring the ladies back for the silver medal finish.
4x400 Action at aGP: Men Get 3rd and CR
NYC- Less than a year after the men ran 3:13.37 to win the national club title, they lowered this club record by over a full second. Their third place was the best finish for any GSTC men’s 4x400 at the Metro 4x400 event in the adidas Grand Prix.
Logan Sharp, the club record holder in the 400IH, got things rolling with a hot lead-off of 48.1, putting the gold into second behind Zenith Velocity and a step ahead of Central Park TC. Isaiah Gill held onto that lead with a 47.2 split, yet Jared Hanko’s PR carry of 48.2 enabled CPTC to get just a step behind. Jamal Roberts let Central Park take the lead, then sat on them, then blasted by them with 150m to go, splitting 47.7 to enable the Gold to finish 2nd in their heat, and third overall, with a new club record of 3:12.37.

“We were so close to two guys jumping for the world record!” -Erin LaCosta on the ride home after the meet

Gold Star
By Ashwin Anantharaman
Hernan Rozemberg
Hernan contacted GSTC because he was looking for a group with advanced-level runners to run with. He's been in Jersey City for a year and half mostly doing his own thing. Chuck put in him in touch with William "The Thrill" Appman to link up with the Jersey City enclave.
His current goal is to run well in the Chicago Marathon this fall. He'd like to at least run a PR and ideally break 2:40. His PRs are: 2:43:38 in the marathon; 1:16:49 in the half: 34:54 in the 10K; 16:14 in the 5K. His pre-race routines include a basic warm-up with some striders and 100-meter pickups. The warm-up distance and number of striders depends on the length of the race, but he will usually do at least two easy miles. He might also do some light stretching, though he usually leaves most stretching for afterward. His hobbies include reading, going to the movies, urban exploring (preferably off the tourist path), hiking and playing other sports (like soccer and basketball).
TMA: Totally Misunderstood Award
Well, Tim Morgan pulled off to the side of the road to take the adidas Grand Prix conference call Wednesday night. Moments later, he got a parking ticket for being on the side of the road.
