1/13 - Millrose Trials - Armory
"Rolling the Dice," we run w/o star miler Dan Zaccariello in the hopes that he gets a bid into the Millrose H.S. mile. Adam Civitano
leads off and finishes his leg in the heart of the race.  Alex Civitano, the call-up, fell to 8th after the first 400.  It looked bleak for
anyone who didn't know the "kick" that he's quickly becoming famous for.  A blistering last 300 had us back in the race for Mike
Baio.  Baio, who injured his achilles in early December was being nursed back.  His comeback race was a less-than-stellar 2:05.2
last weekend at Hispanic.  If Baio didn't return to form, our Millrose dreams would be crushed.  Capt. Mike Baio showed
tremendous heart in holding his position with a 2:00.7 split.  Senior Nick Italiano, a three-time Millrose veteran, went out like an
animal to move up.  He just got nipped at the line by Kellenberg and Chaminade but more importantly held off the flurry of runners
that moved on the last straightaway.  An amazing 8:04.12 was the cut to make the garden this year as the CHSAA league does it
yet again.  As a matter of fact, at the time of the race, 7 of the CHSAA's teams beat the nation's #6 team!!
