The results were fantastic, Alex came in 9th in the open 800 m boys race, Kirsten came in first in the open 800 m girls race. The team of Derek, Taylor, Patrick and Alex PR-ed huge and came in 5th in the 4 x 800 m race with a time of 8:01.26, shaving 19 seconds off their best time of the season, and the girls 4 x 800 team of Kelli, Melanie, Kirsten and Kateyln won their race with a school record time of 9:21.47. They won by 0.01 seconds, literally Katelyn drove her knee past the Rocky Mtn girl and after the longest seven minutes of my life, the phote finish determined that Chaparral had won the title!
It was a great way to end the high school track season, I was so proud of everyone's preparation and production. The banquet was a lot of fun for me Saturday night, because I knew we had performed up to our potential!

I am so proud of all of our athletes, every single one of them. We trained so hard this year, and I hope you all enjoyed the journey as much as I did! Thanks, thanks, thanks! I can't wait until the first Red Rocks session!
