Last Monday we competed in the All Catholic meet because it was rained out on Saturday and was rescheduled. De Smet finished 2nd to CBC because we decided to split some of our sprinters between that meet and the Parkway North meet last Friday. The distance team ran quite well with fast times all across the board. The 4 by 800 team finished 1st as Austin Del Rosso came up with a big 800 pr of 2:04. Matt O'Connor, Justin Potter, and myself also ran strong legs to take the gold. In the mile, Glenn Mcgann came up with a huge pr of 4:41 as he out-kicked Rubio from SLUH to finish a close second behind a runner from Saint Dominic. Good job guys! In the 800 I helped push sophomore Tristan Morgan to a big 2:05 pr and I was quite proud of him as he beat me for the first time this year. Sullivan and Plassmeyer finished with solid races in the two mile as they finished close to their pr if they did not pr.
On Thursday and Friday the track team traveled to Parkway North for a meet that was split over two days. Collin Sullivan finished with a big pr in the mile of 4:43. Nice job Sullivan! Friday turned out to be a quite chilly and windy day for running. In the the mile Mcgann, O'Connor, and Callahan ran solid races as they battled the cold. In the 800 I'm proud to say that both myself and Tristen Morgan pred with a 2:03 as he narrowly beat me again. Don't worry though because I'll catch him next race. In the most exciting news of the week Austin DelRosso "threw down" as Coach Traughber would like to say a huge two mile pr of 9:44. Yes, that right I couldn't believe it myself. Nice job Austin you are the man!
To celebrate we all went out to eat at First Watch after practice on Saturday morning with Coach Tom. As we were leaving we spotted Coach Russo walking into First Watch with his two children, Liam and Brooklyn. They are quite cute little toddlers if say so myself. Our next races will most likely be next week at Vianney on either Tuesday or Thursday so stay posted for more post race updates. Hope you enjoyed and stay classy!
