Special thanks to Coach Bannon and Coach Hoskins for volunteering to start the meet and keeping it running on-time and thanks to Coach Kellison for Clerking and Checking in Athletes. These three ran the show and made me look like I actually knew what I was doing.
Also thanks to the team and parents for moving bleachers, posting signs and heat sheets, making sure everyone got their bib #s, and selling spikes. It made me really proud to see everyone come together in order to pull this thing off.
To top it all off, the boys ran GREAT! See splits below. Performances of the day came from Joey Butcher in the first race of his life on two weeks of training doubling 2:23, 5:23, Austin Presnell with a PR 10:17 in the 3200 in December, Brad Loeffler who PR'ed in both the 1600 and 3200 in the same race (5:52, 12:25), Zach McCauley PR in the 1600 of 5:08 after running the 1200, Evan Marrero under 5:00 in December off a 2:15 800, Lake Jones for doubling 5:12/5:07, and Big Stave for breaking 5:00 twice (he ran 5:13 last year at this meet in just one event)! We have plenty to be excited about this season.
The next major event we host is the FC Distance Showcase on Friday, April 15th. This is the second best track meet in the state of Indiana (next to State, of course) and contains a 4x800, Freshman Mile, 4x400, and the "Miracle Mile" which is quickly becoming one of the hottest miles in the nation, hosting many of the top mile times on Dyestat last year.
Let's keep the ball rolling by running over winter break!!! Thanks again!
