Both my guys and girls 4 x 800R got out of their respective district last night. My guys ran 8:25 and some change while my girls ran 10:10. Both teams will be sitting somewhere between 10-16 in the Lexington Region next week, but if we went all on times there would be no reason to run the races.
I love this time of year from a coaching standpoint. Got rid of some of the athletes that are out for track for the social aspect of things. Don't get me wrong, there is room for everybody on the team regardless of ability, but with me being the competitive jerk that I am, I really look forward to tournament time. The do or die mentality/attitude fall right in line with my competitive nature.
I also have several athletes with legit shots of punching their tickets to the Regional Meet. They will be competing Friday in the 1600-800-3200m events. Our sprinters are also sitting well going in to the semi's/finals on Friday. Our sprint relays have podium potential here in two weeks if we keep the stick off of the track.
*my running has taken back seat to life in the past two-three weeks.
