The Flashes 4x800 team of Andrice Martin, Trevor Rapp, Aaron Nanavaty, and Andrew Schmalfeldt got things rolling at the state meet Friday by running 8:03, their fastest time of the year to place 15th overall! Splits were great, with Andrice and Andrew splitting 1:59 and Aaron and Trevor both clocking 2:01. I'm very proud of this team for making it to state and representing our school with guts and class. The missed the top-ten list by less than 1 second and I expect big things next year!
In the 1600, Jason Crist had his third podium performance, finishing 4th in 4:12.15, the second fastest 1600M of his life. Jason finished behind three incredible seniors, so next year we want the win!
But Jason wasn't done yet. In the 3200M run, Jason got into great position 5 laps into the race, but then began to feel that 4:12! He faded to 9:28, but when you add up 4:12 and 9:28 Jason ran the 13th fastest 1600/3200 double in Indiana state meet history!
