Jonny participated in the Hank Smith Invitational at Heath High School today. He was only scheduled in one race, the 4×800 Meter Relay. The temps were close to 80 and it was very warm and humid. Jonny ended up getting a call from our neighbor last night around 10:30 requesting he come over and watch our neighbors 6 year old daughter. Our neighbor’s visiting mother fell and hit her head and he needed to take her to the hospital, but needed someone to look after their youngest since her Mom and older sister were spending the night in Pittsburgh at the museum of science and industry. He didn’t get home until after 1:00 am and was a little tired the next morning when he had to be to the school to take the bus to the meet with the team.
He ran the final leg of the relay and I think the team was in 8th place when he got the baton. He made up a lot of time and ended catching the 7th and 6th place runners who were ahead of him by almost 100 meters. The team ended up in 6th place with a time of 8:36.78. Jonny’s leg was 2:05.4. Here is the video that I took.
