First Meet Was Sweet

Hey guys its time for your spring break update. I've got a lot to talk about so I'll try to touch on some of the more important events that have occurred the last two weeks. The track team has been working hard at practice and last Friday was our first oppurtunity to showcase that week during our JV scrimmage with SLUH and CBC. In the mile Austin Del Rosso ran an easy 4:42 with Sully coming in at 4:51. In the two mile Glenn Mcgann finished first with a 10:36 and MC and Martini came in shortly behind him. Finally in the 8:00 I won with a 2:05 and Matt came in second with a 2:10. Matt ran a fast 400 meter relay split of 54 seconds also which I found quite impressive. All in all it was great day for the entire team and we had a lot of fun. In attendance was the man himself, Mr. Brain Scherping who came home from college for a short break and watched us run. Brain is beginning his track season at Missouri S&T. We wish him the best of luck.

Speaking of esteemed alumni, the following morning was pancake breakfast at coach's house for the guys that ran a lot over the winter. We were met by Kevin Abernathy who was home for spring break. Kevin ran on Grant's Trail with us and stayed after to eat pancakes and tell stories after the run. We had a lot of fun as pancake breakfast is always a good time and good for team bonding. Anyway yesterday Glenn, Austin, Coach Tom, and myself met for an informal long run in which we traversed the entire Westwood Country Club. I had never run their before so that was quite enjoyable.

On Saturday is our first varsity meet of the year at Washington University. The team is super excited to run against some good competition, at least I am. Anyway I'll make sure to update the blog after that meet to report on results and such. That's all for today. Enjoy your break and don't forget to run as always!
