The Central District Meet is held at Hilliard Darby High School. The first day is dedicated to field events and Jonny did not participate in the first day. The second day of the event the preliminaries are run. Jonny was scheduled to run the 4×800 Meter Relay, which is one of the few finals that were run. He was also scheduled to run the 800 Meter Run preliminary where he needed to be one of the top 8 in his heat to make it to the finals on Saturday. The last race he ran was the 4×400 Meter Relay preliminary. The top 8 times in the 4×400 prelims will run in the finals on Saturday as well.
In the 4×800 finals the boys finished in 8:09.15 and were edged out for the 4th place finish. Jonny ran the 2nd leg in 2:01.1.
The 800 Meter Run Preliminaries, Jonny ran a very conservative 2:06.94, his slowest 800 time of the season. He still ended up winning the preliminary heat he was in and advanced on the to finals for Saturday.
The 4×400 Relay Preliminaries were the final event of the evening. The boys finished the race 3rd in their heat with a time of 3:32.36 which was 5th overall and qualified them for the finals on Saturday. Jonny ran the final leg in 55.2 seconds and looked tired from the previous two races as he was passed and by one runner and never recovered and come in a distant 3rd, which is very unusual for Jonny as he is normally very competitive.
