The guys ran great at Flashes Showcase on our home track!
Starting out the evening were RJ Atwal and Kyle O'Malley, both with PRs in the 1600 (4:52.58 for Kyle and 4:55.54 for RJ).
In the 4x800, Matt Shaw got a surprise announcement 45 minutes out that Andrew Schmalfeldt (AKA "Hammer Time") couldn't run due to a blister. Matt stepped up HUGE for the Flashes as they ran to a 3rd place finish in a season-best time of 8:07.18.
Shane Wright, Aaron Nanavaty, and Evan Marrero all posted PRs in this monster effort. Final Splits: Shane 1:59.4, Aaron 2:00.2, Matt 2:02.1, Evan 2:04.5.
In the 4th race of the night for the Flashes boys, Austin Presnell posted 4:31.66 and I'm counting that as his PR without Jason pushing him around the track!
In the last race of the evening, Jason Crist ran a patient and gutsy race on his home track, taking the lead with 400M to go and never looking back despite great efforts by two juniors: HSE's Troy Reeder and LC's Matt Dorsey. Jason ran his PR and currently has the state's fastest time in the mile for 2012 4:10.18.
a HUGE Thank you to our sponsors for this race, DJ Tony "Tupuck Shakur" Puckett, and especially Coach Kellison and Coach House for organizing the whole event!
