Jonny ran in his second indoor track meet this week. He only ran in one event the 4×800 relay race, which is the same race he ran in last week, This time he ran the second leg of the race. He was given the baton this time with the nearest group of 3 runners ahead of him by a good 50 meters. He kept pace with the group in front of him the first two laps, at this same time the person who was behind him by about 15 meters had caught up with him. Along the back stretch on the third lap Jonny really poured it on and by the time the group in front of him started their last lap, Jonny was with the group of three runners and he left the person behind about 50 meters behind him. He slowed down and paced with the group in front of him but kicked with them and passed them in the final 100 meters. He had a personal best in the 800 meters with a time of 2:13 and had a good handoff to Thomas Patton who also ran an excellent race and caught even more people who were yet in front of them.
I think last week was their only bye week and they are running every week from here on out. Next week he is going to run the 4×400 with the A group again and they should do very well. Jonny is going to run very hard next week to not disappoint his running mates next week which include last years indoor 200 meter state champion and a 400 meter state champion race finalist. Both of whom are Seniors this year.
