NBIN Boys Recap: Hogan Breaks 9:00 Min (8:59.82) US #1 !

Paul Hogan has quietly had an historic season. 

The Burlington High senior had a dominating win at the MSTCA Elite meet in January where he ran 9 minutes, 11.2 seconds for two miles. He moved down from the distance the remainder of the season, concentrating on the 4x800m relay and the mile. At the All-State Meet at the beginning of March, he placed second to Newburyport junior Nick Carleo in the mile with a personal best of 4:15.

With his combination of strength and speed, Hogan was primed to make an assault on the nine-minute barrier.

It all happened on Sunday afternoon.Coming on strong the final 400 meters, Hogan placed second to Canada's Charles Cooper of Canada with an outstanding 8:59.82 clocking. His time moved him to No. 6 all-time indoors in Massachusetts and tops the national rankings. (Cooper is from Canada).

Hogan was not surprised about his milestone performance.                 

"I ran like 9:11 last month," he said. "I haven’t run the two mile in a while, and I have really improved since then. I knew I could run well. I just tried to stay behind a couple of guys in the front, let them do the work and wait for the last 800."

Competing inside the famed Armory certainly was a motivator for Hogan.

"This facility is awesome," said the UMass-Lowell-bound Hogan. "This is the first time I have been here. The fans, the atmosphere, the meet. I love it. It gets the adrenaline pumping."

Also coming through with strong efforts was King Philip Regional's Owen Gonser (9:13.21) and Swampscott's Matt Mahoney ( 9:13.64), who both ran personal-best times.

Hogan also ran a 1:55.54 anchor on Saturday to earn Burlington an impressive ninth-place finish in the Championship 4x800m relay with an amazing time of 7:53. Besides Hogan, the remaining splits for the quartet were Mathew Ackerman (1:59.65), Eric Salina (1:57.92) and Colin Raposo (2:00.1).

Andrew Bolze of Hingham capped of his New Balance Nationals with a double All American status. "This whole season has been really special and I could not have asked for a better way to end it. I have been really consistent and I am excited to have produced my best performances at the biggest meet.

Although he finished sixth place in the final, Bolze struggled with the close the contact, something that he never deals with in Massachusetts.  " I was really disappointed with the 400m final. I got boxed in twice by two athletes, got tripped, and could not find a way out so I was not able to contend for the win. After coasting behind the eventual winner in the prelim and coming into the final with the second best time, I definitely expected more."

Like most elite athletes, Bolze is more determined than ever to return to the national spotlight.  "This race only fueled my fire, and I could not be more excited for the outdoor season where I will have my own lane!  The long jump made up for all of this. I set 3 personal bests in the competition and broke the New England record twice. It was an exciting competition and one of the highlights of my entire career. The entire atmosphere at the Armory was second to none. At the end of the day, this weekend proved to me that I belong on that stage and that I can contend for national titles." 

 Massachusetts was well represented in the boys mile, as Garrett O'Toole of the Middlesex School (4th -4:13.6) and Nick Carleo of Newburyport (6th- 4:14.3) were able to overcome a very slow pace to finish in the top six. One of the most eye popping performances for the Massachusetts contingent was Marblehead sophomore Andrew Ernst who finished 3rd in the emerging Elite Mile with a huge personal best of 4:15.

Newton North Senior Nick Fofana finished 6th place in the Pentathlon scoring 3838 points.
