Seems like the longest day of all time. Its now 10:42 pm, started at 5:30 am this morning. Good news our 4×800 placed 12th to get to the finals and Q Garrison cleared 6’1 to make the second day finals. I was sure that the 4×800 had not made the final cut. Trying to track all the times in the other heats did not look good for us. Some real fast time in the heats in front of us and when we put a 8:11 on the board I did not think we would make it. So when they announced Salem in the finals it was like a dream. Q look good in the high jump clearing the first two heights fairly easy, not sure what he will have to do to place, i would say he would need to clear at least 6’3, if not better. Sam was a no height, he was focused, he just could not clear the starting height of 12’6. In the 400, Matt just did not have the go juice to make the finals. But he was a long shot to begin with, his fast leg of the 4×800 had to take something out of him. The 4×400 just was not fast enough, still ran our 2nd fastest time of the year. Can’t be displeased with what went on. Made it to finals day and maybe the 4×800 can pull a minor upset and move up 4 spots. And Q if he has a good day, could place. Later Coach!
