Meet Recap

This past weekend was the Robert Inman Relays. It was a total beatdown by my distance guys. We won the 4x1600, 4x800, DMR, provided two legs of the winning 4x4, and the anchor for the winning SMR (2-2-4-8). I have some talented guys but more than anything they LOVE to COMPETE! Time and again on saturday they decided to stick their noses in it even when getting the baton way back.

Here are the highlights:
4x1600 22:40.62
Graham Lovelady (5:52), Will Boling (5:51), Brandon John (5:36), Andrew Bull (5:21). Andrew had to absolutely run his guts out to get the win as he got the stick in third (little did he know his day was only beginning). Brandon John is a year away from running 5:10-5:15.

4x800 9:40.47
Zach Williams (2:22), Turner Bacon (2:29), Andrew Bull (2:28), Garrett Bull (2:19). Great races all around. Andrew came back to run a good leg. Zach and Turner competed hard. Garrett (Andrew's identical, or close to it, twin brother) ran his guts out to win as he also got the baton in third place.

DMR 13:02.20
Zach William (4:04), Alex Yost (65), Ben Roberson (2:33), Garrett Bull (5:18). Nice job. Garrett ran an easy looking 5:18. Zach had a nice double back. Ben and Alex are a year away from being competitive 400-1600m.

MDMR (really a SMR but whatever, 2-2-4-8) 4:16.37
Micah Howard anchored the relay in 2:20. He also "won" the long jump in the morning.

4x4 3:53.02 (Gaulden 53, Bull 64, Foster 59, Howard 55)
Andrew Bull did a nice job answering the bell and running 64 to keep us in contention on the 2nd leg. This was his third race of the day. First relay and last relay, long day. He was undefeated and my performer of the meet. Not necessarily the times but that he was willing to run the 4x4 when many on the team weren't/couldn't. Micah continued his unbeaten streak for the season and brought the team home. He ran unchallenged. The question is can he ran 54 on the 4x4 after running 1600, 800, LJ earlier in the day?

An alternate format for what the guys did on saturday:
Andrew Bull- 5:21, 2:28, 64
Garret Bull- 2:19, 5:18
Zach Williams- 2:22, 4:04
Micah Howard- 2:20, 55
Graham Lovelady- 5:52
Will Boling-5:51
Brandon John- 5:36
Turner Bacon- 2:29 (in trainers BTW, we need to get him some spikes)
Ben Roberson- 2:33
Alex Yost- 65
