As usual, the Flashes had a great time at the Midwest Distance Festival (formerly called Midwest Distance Gala, but now under new management).
Our fab-four freshmen had a ton of fun, learned a few things, and ran well. Robbie Talhlem definitely earned race-of-the-day honors with a PR Mile.
Jason Crist got out well, but the rabbit slowed up a bit on lap two. When the rabbit stepped off the track, Jason was put in the lead of a field of 7 sub-9:00 2-Milers. He led all of lap three, but the field got the best of him on lap four and he ended up 8th in a national-level elite race.
