4x8 ran stellar. 8:44! PRs for everyone except Andrew, who was only 1 second off. The great thing about tonight was the guys ran hard from the gun. Hopefully running fast, hard, and tough becomes a trademark of the program (but still racing smart). The slowest first lap was a 63. Nicholas ran really well in his first fresh 800 of the year. His hard training over the past couple of weeks really showed tonight (5:02? double for him).
The 1600 was a little more of a grab bag, but considering it was close to the 4x8, those guys doubled pretty well. Most impressive 800/1600 double was Will Nyce who closed in excellent fashion on the last lap to get 4th. Hats off to him for his 5:00.
The 800 showed that Andrew Holleran is indeed the real deal. He ran his second 2:10 of the night. Jack Henry showed some of his speed in the last 200 of his heat to get a guy in the closing 50 of the race.
I had my final macro econ class of the semester tonight, so I unfortunately couldn't skip it and watch the 3200. I am really bummed about it. From what I can gather Dan got 4th with an 11:20 (which is a lot faster than he ran a few weeks ago), Frank got 5th! and outkicked Stella who ran the double and got 6th with 11:40ish. Nice job guys, I really wish I was there.
Frank getting it done on and off the track...
CoachI am sorry to miss another day of practice but I recently won an award for a science fair to go to a banquet at the University of Maryland after school tomorrow. I'm really sorry, but my mom is making me go. Maybe I can run around the campus while I'm there.
Thanks for the email and heads up Frank! Be sure to give Frank a pat on the back the next time you see him and a "thata boy". Representing OCDP on and off the track. I guess if you are going to miss practice you might as well be winning things. Maybe we should get some OCDP sweater vests made up to wear to formal events.
Drew, get better. You are missed by everyone.
