Jonny ran in two events this week. The 4×800 relay and 4×400 relay. He was really excited about the 4×400 as he was going to have the opportunity to run with two of the fastest 400 runners in the state. He was put in the mix with 3 seniors.
In his first race, the 4×800, he ran a good race and helped his team finish 3rd overall out of 13 teams with a time of 8:51:89. He ran the second leg of that race with a time of 2:11.
He ran the second leg of the 4×400 and got the baton with a lead, but didn’t realize how fast the pace was going to be until he was challenged coming out of the first turn. He then stepped up his pace and at the end of his 400 he was just behind the runner who challenged him. He ran a personal best of 55 seconds for his 400 meter leg of the relay. The team ended up winning the event with a time of 3:32.66 out of 16 teams overall.
Here is a video I took of the race.
