Improvements

Crunching some numbers real quick.

We raced the same time of year last year, let's see how much we have improved based on those times at C.U. Let's see if all this extra Saturday running (and all the other minor tweaks to the program) have made a difference.

Kelli H. ran her 800 m race 1 second faster.
Alex B. ran his mile race 19 seconds faster.
Caroline H. ran her mile race 8 seconds faster.
Derek E. ran his mile race 5 seconds faster and his 800 m race 5 seconds faster.
Josh L. ran his mile race 13 seconds faster.
Patrick A. ran his mile race 5 seconds faster.
Kelsey D. ran her mile race 19 seconds faster and her 800 m race 8 seconds faster.

Those were the improvements I could calculate. Overall, 9 out of 11 total comparable races, (races by veterans who I had data on from last year) were improvements. The two who did not improve only declined by one or two seconds. Impressive! Almost as impressive as Mike M.'s 6' 6" high jump!!!

Overall, everyone who came down did very, very well. The coaches saw a lot of good stuff, and we saw a lot of great racing performances.
