Hey don't wander away
My nephew (Marc Erickson) is running for Fort Atkinson in the D1 4X800 which is up in 30 minutes. He's looking to beat Andrew's split time from last year in a friendly inter family rivalry.

Girl's come within a second ....
The girl's 4X400 took 4th in their prelim heat ( the fast one) , which is generally enough to move on. Unfortunately the slow heat was surprisingly fast and Shorewood was edged out by 1.4 seconds.
So very very close ...
Next year ladies.

Big Ben
Ben takes 3rd in the two mile!
It was a huge race.
He did exactly what he had to to win and was in contention right up to the last turn. Brilliant and fun to watch.
Ben sat in second behind Luterbach for the first mile. He took the lead to start the second half and led laps 5 and 7 before getting out kicked by keene and luterbach in the final 300 meters. Luterbach had an insane kick left and won easily. Ben ran a very even race and looked strong the whole way, just let the other two talk him out of it at the end ( don't ever look back Ben). Won't happen again next year I'm sure.
Awesome race. Congratulations Ben!
UPDATE:
I suppose times would help.
Ben ran: 9:42.2 almost 10 seconds better than his seed time coming in but 5 or 6 seconds shy of his PR.
Luterbach won in 9:35 and Keene was 9:39.
a really gutsy race all the way around.

More Emily
Emily took 7th in the 800 running 2:21.
The mile obviously took a bit out of her legs as she looked flat at the start. Unfortunately this left her stuck behind a bunched crowd that she just couldn't work around and as a result she was never really in the race.
Next up for Emily will be the mile relay which will cap a huge day for her. Very few coaches let a runner attempt three races on friday at State because of the lack of recovery time and the speed of the competition.
Ben will toe the line in the 2 mile in about 20 minutes.
Go Ben.

Better Results
Wonders never cease.
The entire meet is being broadcast live on WIAA TV. the link is: wiaa.tv.
I had no idea that there was such a thing as .tv but I am watching it now and it is very cool.
Also, PT timing has real time official results up at : http://www.pttiming.com/page/show/96682-2009-wiaa-state-track-and-field-championships
That is where I learned that Emily was actually 9th not 8th. still a good time.
enjoy!

results
Okay, this isn't a live blog or anything and I am not at the meet, but I have been chatting with Dom and I will try to post what I hear during the day for those of you who couldn't make it but want to know. Also apparently PT timing is streaming some live video and real time results. If I can find the link I will post it
FIRST UPDATE:
Emily B ran a 5 or 6 second PR in the mile this morning; she crossed the tape in 5:08. That was good enough for 8th place. The winning time was 5:01 so you can imagine how crowded it was up front. Congrats Emily! She is now resting in the shade somewhere in anticipation of running the 800 meters in about 30 minutes from now.
Ben has another hour yet before the 2 mile. Strategically scheduled to be run in the hotest part of the day.

State Meet is this weekend
Thinking of a last minute dash to lacrosse to see the races? Especially because Friday could be the last nice day of the summer.
On Friday division 2/3 events run from 9:30 to 1:00. For us that would include the girls mile at about 10:00; the girl's 800 at aboout 11:00; the boys two mile at about 12:00 and the girl's mile relay at about 12:30.
If you want to hang around friday night and watch division one ( and you should) you will need to buy a week-end all session pass.
Hotels can be a problem if you don't already have one, but goose island state park is 5 minutes up the road and you can pitch a tent for about $20. It's a very nice place, and most of your fellow campers will be students in town to watch the meet.
Saturday morning you can sleep in because the running events don't start until 1:00. All three divisions are together so things run a little slower. First event of interest would be the boy's mile at about 2:00 ( I'm just guessing on times, please do your own calculations). followed by... nothing, I think, that involves Shorewood. Someone correct me if I am missing someone.
This is a great event. The weather should be nice. Bring sunscreen and dark glasses.
Go Hounds!

P.S. there is plenty of WiFi on campus so if someone is going and has an iphone and or a computer and would be willing to post results let me know.
And the official information can be found here: http://wiaawi.org/releases/2008-09/trackrelease.pdf
