Whew, that was a long day.
But, League Championships was a great success for us. We had two League Champions, multiple second team All-League and scored lots of points for Chaparral.
Here are the results:
G 4 x 800 - 9:42.93 - 1st place
B 4 x 800 - 8:00 - 2nd place
G 1600 - Bri - 5:45; Janey - 5:53
B 1600 - Alex - 4:38 - 4th place; Derek - 4:39 - 5th place; Taylor 4:56
G 400 - Julia 65.65; Kendall - 66.16
B 400 - Brenden - 55.81; Patrick - 53.59; Tyler - 51.56 - 4th place
G 800 - Kendall - 2:36.50; Kelli - 2:24.39 - 3rd place
B 800 - Taylor - 2:06.90; Derek - 1:59.09 - 2nd place
G 3200 - Caroline - 12:00 - 1st place; Bri - 12:54; Chelsea - 14:02
B 3200 - Keagan - 10:07 4th place; Josh - 10:37 - 6th place; Ryan - 11:18
G 4 x 400 - 4:13.97 - 5th place
B 4 x 400 - 3:26.94 - 3rd place
Now we will have to wait and see on which of our distance times will get us in for top 18 in the State. There are a couple of leagues who are having their League Championships this Saturday, so we really will not know for sure until Sunday morning. If I had to speculate, however, I would guess that both of our 4 x 800 teams will get in, Derek and Alex will qualify for the 800, Katelyn will qualify for the 800, and Alex and Derek will qualify for the 1600. I think Caroline has a very good chance in the 3200. I think our Sprint Medley team and our girls 4 x 100 team also have very good chances to stay in the top 18. And even though I think both of our 4 x 400 teams ran fantastically last night, I think both are on the bubble as well. I guess we will see on Sunday morning! *Crosses fingers*
As far as the State Meet schedule goes, we are hopefully going to be very busy on Thursday. Sprint Medley Prelims. 3200 m Finals. 4 x 800 Finals. 4 x 400 Prelims.
Friday brings us the Sprint Medley Finals and the 800 m Finals.
Saturday is the 1600 m Finals and the 4 x 400 Finals. Let's hope everything falls our way and we spend three great days at State!
As far as practice goes, if you were named above, or on any of the teams named above, we will be having practice as a team every day except Sunday until the State meet. (Depending on the baby of course.) If you did not qualify for State, then you need to shut your season down to get ready for your summer training and your fall competition. Take two-three weeks off from running. Your body and mind need time to recover from the repetitive motion of left foot-right foot-left foot-right foot. The coaches will be at practice focusing on the kids ready to go to State, so you get some well deserved time away from the track. Enjoy it and take advantage of it.
One last note, if you are still reading. Our team banquet is Saturday night the 16th, at Chaparral, sometime around dinner time. Everyone is invited, everyone who competed varsity or JV is welcome, along with their families. I'm not sure what time it starts, I am not sure how much it is to get in, if it costs anything at all, but I would love to see as many track kids as possible there, as it is really a fun night!
