In additon, we have had many great performances including an 8:14 performance for our 4x800 team at the Flashes Showcase meet in which Andrice Martin split 1:58 then came back to run a 50.8 on the 4x400. Unofficially, I think this is the fastest 4x400 split in the history of distance runners at FCHS!
At that same meet (last Friday) we had FIVE freshman run 5:00 or better in the 1600! Here are the fab 5 at the start of the race (Schmalfeldt, Shuck, Geisler, McCauley, and Hardimon):
In addition to the guys that had the opportunity to run in the "big meets" listed above, we have had a number of incredible performances throughout our recent outdoor season. Here is the current FC "Leaderboard" for Distance events this season:

As you can tell, it has been a great start to the outdoor season for the Flashes with a meet on Thursday vs. Greenwood, Saturday at West Lafayette, and then Monday vs. Roncalli and New Palestine to wrap up the "regular season."
Side note: if you have not been running it's time for parents and alumni to dust off the running shoes and begin training for the 2011 Fast Flash on Saturday May 14.
