Today was one of the longer travel days for the team to make it to an event that displays a number of the state’s top ranked athletes on display. The weather was almost perfect for the athletes. The temps were in the upper 50’s and mostly sunny.
Jonny was scheduled for the 800 meter run and the 4×110 meter shuttle hurdle relay. His first race was the 800 meter run. This race featured a couple of the best 800 meter racers in the state and the pace was very fast and broke a track record. Jonny get a personal best of 2:03.35 and ended up 10th overall out of the field of 28. Here is the video I took from the 800 meter run.
Jonny then raced in the 4×110 hurdles. Unfortunately the 4×110 hurdles follows the 200 meter dash which followed the 800 meter run that Jonny just participated in. His legs were still tired from the 800 meter run and he was the first leg of the 4×110 shuttle hurdles. His team was put in the fast heat and they ended up 5th overall with a time of 73.11. Jonny finished his leg in 18.4. The 110 Meter Shuttle Run video is below.
