The team was scheduled to compete at the Lexington Invitational last Saturday, April 9th. Due to 3 inches of snow and very cold weather, that meet was cancelled.
This week was another home meet, which meant that after scoring sheets started coming in I didn’t get to watch the meet very much. Also, Jonny has been sick the last couple of days and actually missed over half a day at school yesterday due to a fever and coughing. I did stop long enough to watch Jonny run the 800 meter run, but I missed seeing him in the 4×400 meter relay. The 800 meter run started with a slow pace and Jonny didn’t take the lead until the half way mark. He kept the lead all the way to finish line and won, but with an unusually slow time for him of 2:05.2. But he still was able to secure the 5 points awarded to 1st place even though he was sick.
The video I was able to take of the race is below.
In his second race, the 4×400 meter relay. He was running the final leg of the race, and the team took first place with a time of 3:39.9. By the time Jonny got the baton, the team had built up a huge lead and Jonny cruised his 400 meters with a split of 54.7.
