On the boys side, Connor got oh so close to a sub 50 mark in the 400 and got the 49 split to anchor the 4x4 to the win. Boys finished a strong 3rd overall with a lot of great performances.

Overall, on a hot day there were a lot of great performances across the board and a lot of athletes stepping up battling sickness and injuries to perform at a high level.

Nationals this weekend. Dylan (110H/400H) and Jenna (HJ/400H/TJ) are competing at NB nationals on Friday/Saturday down in Philadelphia!

The secret to greatness: Pick your thing. Pick a good system for your thing. Surround yourself with people who support you doing your thing. Do your thing for a decade.

A terrible loss for the running/track community. Bob was always a pleasure to be around at track meets. Always had a good joke to tell.

Frank Shorter won Olympic Gold and Silver in the marathon. He ran 2:10 back in 1972. His training? Just about the same thing every week, for months on end. Nothing fancy. Consistency is king. If you don't have consistency on the basics, whatever else you do doesn't matter.

Girls wrapped up the season today with a strong effort at the state meet. Girls finished 4th in the 26 school field after earning a share of the NCCC title last week! Great work overall.

Boys had their best race of the season today with a top 10 finish in the 27 school field with 6 runners competing at states for the first time. Caleb also earned his first all state selection with a top 12 finish! He will compete next week at the open!
