Marion County and Final Time Trial

Great job Flashes at the Marion County Meet! Performance of the day was definitely Matt Shaw, who clocked 4:27.59 to move to 10th all-time in Franklin Central history.

Shane Wright also had an incredible performance in the 800, running 1:59 to hand off in the lead and then later running 2:00 to win the second heat of the event and place 8th overall. The Flashes finished 4th overall to 3 solid teams, nearly getting revenge on a tough Brebeuf squad.

Evan Shuck also had a big PR for the Flashes, moving into the top-ten all-time for sophomores. Evan ran 4:36.55 and placed 11th, just out of scoring.

Jason Crist of course turned in a solid performance of 1:55.3 in the 800 and then lit up the anchor leg of the 4x400 relay in 50.0, the fastest ever split by a distance runner in FC history.

The Flashes Austin Presnell then turned in a solid performance in the 3200, placing 5th overall.

Earlier in the evening, we ran another time trial, trying to get more guys under 5:00. Eddie Hardimon decided to run the 3200 instead, and snuck under 11:00. Great job, Eddie!
