Conference Indiana

It is always a good thing when we get to update the top-ten list after a meet!

The Flashes traveled to Bloomington North Friday night for Conference Indiana. It was a great meet for us, with the 4x800 winning a close battle for second, then Evan Shuck and Zack McCauley competing hard in the 1600 (Shuck running a personal best). Shane Wright then raced a complete 800M race which went "tactical" and ended up 4th. Shane led most of this race.

The performance of the night, though, came in the 2-mile. The first mile was a fast 4:41, with senior Branden Hearrell coming through in 4:50 (his season best in the mile). The race got more exciting down the stretch as Austin Presnell hung on in second and third place for much of the race. When a Bloomington South athlete tore away from the pack, it was Presnell leading the chase pack and some guys ended up outkicking him. However, Austin still ran the 7th fastest time in school history. This is what happens when four years of hard work pays off. Congratulations, Austin!
