Keith Gill



Stonehill College’s Keith Gill has set the bar high for his younger brother, Kevin Gill, who also runs for Stonehill. Two weekends ago, Kevin set a school record for the fastest mile ran by a freshman. Not to be outdone, Keith responded by setting a school record at the Terrier Classic, running a 4:06.73 mile. Not only did this time set the school record in the mile, but it is one of the fastest times this indoor season.

Running comes naturally to Keith. About his first experience with the sport, he recalls, “I was always one of the faster kids on the [other sports] teams, but I never had any interest in competitive running until junior high when my mother brought my brother and I to a weekly local 2.2 mile kids' road race that Dave Gorman hosted at a local park.” About subsequent competitions, he explains, “Our parents were far from runners so we didn't know what the hell we were doing. We'd wake up about 15 minutes before race, maybe eat or drink something if we had time, then jump out of the car while everyone was already on the starting line and then win our age division.”

Natural talent can only take a runner so far. Keith explains, “It wasn't until high school, however, that I realized how much talent I actually had, how much more I had in common with cross country/track teammates than in other sports, and that I could have run those road races much faster if I ran at any other point during the week.” He continues, “Under the coaching of Joe LeMar, Bill Jennings, and Dave Walsh, I learned the basics of training, racing, and how to throw a Brockton elbow if necessary. By no means were my accomplishments nationally recognized. In fact, I was never even a state champion. But high school proved to be the perfect stepping stone to my collegiate success.”

This collegiate success came at Stonehill College. Keith chose Stonehill for many reasons: to its close proximity to his home, it was financial feasible, he liked Coach Karen Boen, and it is a Division II program. “Most of my other college choices were D1, but I believed DII would be a better fit. I was frequently injured in high school, so I wanted a school where the coach wouldn't give up on me for missing a season. I also believed that I could be just as successful in DII as I could be in D1... so why not receive more accolades for running just as fast?” he explains. He also added, "I've always been intrigued by stones... hills also."

Stonehill proved to be an ideal match for Keith, and thus he was able to convince his brother to become a fellow Skyhawk. He explains, “I heavily influenced his decision to attend Stonehill because I knew it would be a perfect fit for him as it is for me. Plus who wouldn't want an incoming 4:13 miler on their team? He knew a great opportunity when he saw it.” Keith further elaborates on the upside and downside of having his little brother on his team: “It is great for three reasons. We're able to constantly support one another. He’s fast as all hell and strengthens our XC and DMR teams. And, our parents don't have to pick and choose which meet they attend each weekend. It sucks for one reason: he will break all my records.”

Keith plans to set a few more records before he leaves. In addressing his goals for this year he explains, “Bettering my PRs are always a must, especially in the mile, but my training always revolves around winning nationals in the mile. My goals include subbing-4 in the mile, winning a national championship, and not jinxing my other two goals.”

“I'm actually considering coming back for a 5th year to make up for the all the seasons that I've missed. I need to lower all of the school records before my brother breaks all of them” he jokes, adding a little fuel to the fire of sibling rivalry.

Results for the weekend of Feb.1st The Giants upset the nearly perfect Patriots in the Superbowl by a score of 17-14. While most people were on their couches watching the game, many runners were out winning races.

Thomson Invitational Adelphi took the women’s competition with 141 points. Stockton was second with 94 points and Moravian was third with 92 points. Lincoln’s Shanda Jackson won the 200m with a time of 26.32. This time also preliminary qualifies her for the NCAA Division II indoor meet. Her teammate Alisha Mckeithan won the 400m in the time of 58.88 over Adelpi’s Danielle Lyons who ran a 1:00.99.

Moravian took the men’s competition with 131 points followed by Salisbury who had 128 points. Adelphi came in third with 102 points. Lincoln’s Aaron Hunter won the triple jump with a jump of 14.49m. This jump preliminary qualifies her for the NCAA Division II indoor meet.

East Stroudsburg DeSchriver InvitationalBloomburg’s Andrea Kellock won the women’s mile in a time of 5:08 over Millersville’s Rachel Hull who ran a 5:20. Lockhaven’s Chelsea Morse won the women’s high jump in a jump of 1.67 m. Cheney’s Cyrus Wesley won the men’s 200m in the time of 22.37 over East Stroudsburg’s Jeff McClenton who ran a 22.56. West Chester’s Jarret Eaton won the men’s 55m hurdles in a time of 7.47.

MSU Open Concordia’s Katie Johnson won the women’s 200m with a time of 26.10 followed closely by UW-Whitewater’s Brooke Bell who ran a 26.14. South Dakota’s Heather Wollman won the 400ms with a time of 57.11 followed by her teammate Brittany Garner who ran 57.34. Minnesota Duluth’s Liz Palkie won the mile in the time of 5:04. Saint Thomas’s James Ewer won the 60m with a time of 6.88. Concordia’s Kawaskii Bacon won the men’s 200m with a time of 22.11. MSU-Mankato’s Nate Pieper won the men’s 400m with a time of 48.62. St.Thomas’s Brian Sames won the 800m with the time of 1:53.38.

And/or... Scratch That Riddle   February 26, 2008 at 10:37pm
Einstein's Riddle!

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

The question is: Who owns the fish?

Hints:

* The Brit lives in the red house.
* The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
* The Dane drinks tea.
* The green house is on the left of the white house.
* The green homeowner drinks coffee.
* The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
* The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
* The man living in the center house drinks milk.
* The Norwegian lives in the first house.
* The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
* The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
* The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
* The German smokes prince.
* The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
* The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be patient.

Richard is a strange liar. He lies on six days of the week, but on the seventh day he always tells the truth. He made the following statements on three successive days:

Day 1: "I lie on Monday and Tuesday."
Day 2: "Today, it's Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday."
Day 3: "I lie on Wednesday and Friday."

The Question: On which day does Richard tell the truth?

the detective comes in and pushes play. the tape immediately plays the "suicide note" without having been rewound first. the tape would have had to have been rewound to get back to that spot. because you can't rewind a tape when you're dead, someone else must have done it. therefore, it must have been a murder.

also, the tape would have continued to record because the dead man wouldn't have been able to push stop.

a detective found a dead man sitting at his desk with a gun in his hand, and a tape recorder was on his desk...the detective came in and picked up the tape recorder and pressed the play button...he heard "i am sick of my life. i have no purpose to live" and then a gunshot.

the detective instantly knew it was murder, not suicide. how?

Balllllsy guess RedOval!!!

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

from The Lord of the Rings, said by Gollum (I don't remember the answer to this, but I remembered it being a good riddle):

Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
never thirsting, ever drinking;
clad in mail, never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
thinks an island
is a mountain;
thinks a fountain
is a puff of air.
So sleek, so fair!
What a joy to meet!
We only wish
to catch a fish,
so juicy-sweet!

IF said sage (X) were wearing a white hat, then one of the blue-hat sages (Y) would have seen a white (X) and a blue hat (Z). If this were the case, then Y would have been preparing for Z to stand up and say "I'm wearing a blue hat!" if Y himself were wearing a white hat. Since Z did NOT hypothetically shout this out, Y would have stood up and said "I'm wearing a blue hat!" and been correct... but this did not happen.

As a result, the only way that neither Y nor Z would have known for sure which color their own hats were is if the hat of said X sage were blue. Since Y and Z didn't speak up, X was able to deduce that he must have had a blue hat on.

The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the sages were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the king uncovered the sages' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One sage looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?"

For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally he stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ."
