Conference Indiana Results

The boys ran well at conference...most notably Jason Crist anchored the 4x8 to a third pace finish, won the 1600 in 4:21, and then won the 3200 in 9:10, the second fastest time in school history behind his own record.

Austin Presnell also joined the ranks of sub-10 2-Milers with a 9:53 6th place finish.

One of the most interesting races of the day was Andrice Martin's 4x400 leg in which he split 23.3 for his first 200 without using blocks (this would have scored in the open 200) and then managed to hold together a :30 for a solid lead-leg. Andrice also ran a great lead-leg of the 4x800 in 1:58.

Greenwood/W Lafayette

We finished up a big week of meets today with successes at W Lafayette Relays, running 8:09 in the 4x800 and 18:32 in the 4x1600. PRs went to Schmalfeldt in the 4x1600 (4:41), Marrero (who had the race of the day in the open 1600 in 4:44), Presnell in the 4x1600 (4:45), and Jones in the open 1600 (4:49). Evan Shuck also had a great race in the 3200, running right around 10:30 for the third time this season. Jason Crist had another stellar double 4:23/1:58 and Andrice Martin did too 2:00/51.6 to lead both relays.

On Thursday, we raced Greenwood. Getting wins for the Flashes were Matt Shaw (4:44 in the 1600), Andrew Schmalfeldt (10:29 in the 3200), and Jason Crist (1:58 in the Open 800).

The 4x800 team of Harrison, Nanavaty, Jones, and Presnell also held off a charging Greenwood team to get the W.

We now have 9 guys under 4:50 and 17 under 5:00!!!

Great Time to be a Flash!

Jason Crist broke the 9:00 barrier last week at the Arcadia Invitational in California. Jason now holds the school record in the event and is the 11th fastest runner in Indiana 3200M history!
























A full video of the race can be found by clicking here.

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):

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.
