The Shorewood Invite 06
I don't have official results yet, but I do have some high-lights...
CONTINUED
On the girls' side, half of the team was either at solo ensemble or home in bed with the flu. Alyssa won the high jump outright by clearing 4' 8'' apparently without practicing all week. Claire looked to be in mid-season form in the two mile. She finished almost three laps ahead of the field. I will post the rest of the times when coach K. sends them to me.
On the boys' side the meet started late, ended late and featured a very creative 4 x 8 format. The boys did manage to beat a good Wisconsin Lutheran team in the 4 x 8 but because of a major screw up by the officials (who apparently were having trouble counting to four) Andrew ran three laps while Brian got to run five. The look on Brian's face when they told him to go around for another lap was priceless. Doug and Jon looked good in the mile, 5:01 and 5:07 respectively. Dave and Zach covered the 800 around 2:10 ish. And Dennis and Andrew battled in the two mile for what was the most aggressive race of the evening. Andrew managed to add several new spike wounds to his collection.
It was a good first meet, but with the exception of Claire, everyone looked a little rusty, as if they hadn't done a lot of running since Cross Country. It'll come.
Actual numbers will go up when the coaches get them to me.
Pictures will go up late monday, but they are mostly blurry because of the tungsten lighting.
The JV is at WFB mid week.
Cheers.
