The rain stopped and the meet went on. The jumping pits were not the best but were usable. We settled things early with who was going to make the trip to state. Quentin won the high jump in easy fashion. With a jump of 6’5. That was in the top five in the state. There were a couple more 6’5 and a 6’9 and 6’7. Hess was second in the pole vault with a vault of 12’6. And then the 4×800 relay was able to hang onto a second place finish in 8:27 our best time of the year to seal their trip to state. The best race of the night was the 400 meter dash. Three guys came borrowing down toward the finish for that 2nd place spot. And after a lot of review Jerod was 4th over all but ran the qualifying time to advance. Jacob Heser was 2nd in the 3200 meter run with his best time of the year in 10:01. So we will head north with a pole vaulter, 400 meter guy, a high jumper, 3200 meter guy, and the 4×800 relay. Almost like last year, only difference is the 3200 meter guy and the lack of the 4×400. We finished 2nd in the meet behind Cahokia. So I was pleased with that. Some disappointments-for some of the seniors. But thats the nature of the beast, some are going to be happy, some are going to be disappointed, but 100% of the time we are all going to get up and keep going the next morning. Have a good one.
