Getting Close

Getting closer to Regionals now, our 4x8's are starting to take shape. To qualify for states we either need to finish 1st or 2nd, or run...

• 10:05 for the girls. 10:05 for the girls is averaging 2:31
• 8:18 for the boys. 8:18 is averaging 2:04 for the boys

With our best races ahead of us these marks are within our reach. To have everyone run a PR at Regionals in the 4x8 is possible, but it looks like if everyone has a solid day both relays have a chance at advancing. Think positive!

One of my goals as a coach is to have both our girls and boys teams have a 4x8 at states every year. If we don't I feel we are not yet a solid distance team. Thinking back to my high school days a fast 4x8 was the perfect way to start off a track meet.... it was the distance runners relay and our chance to show off our stuff as a distance squad.

If we take our best times from the 800 we have...

• 2:29, 2:32, 2:33, 2:38 = 10:12
• 2:03, 2:04, 2:06, 2:06 = 8:19
