Last Thursday, the varsity distance team ran at the Jim Farrel Invitational. In the first race of the day, the 4 x mile team took second place with solid legs by Plassmeyer, MC, Hilmer (5:03 pr), and Sullivan. The 4 x mile was followed by the 4 x 800. I opened with a pr of 2:01 and I was followed my solid legs from Matt O'Connor, Nick Martini, and Justin Potter (2:08 pr) and we ended up finishing third. After the 4 x 800, Austin won the mile with an impressive 4:35 pr putting away the competition in the final lap. Finally, in the two mile Austin won again with a 10:08 and Glenn Mcgann also had a solid race while battling tonsillitis.
On Saturday, the varsity guys met at Forrest Park for a long run. Shortly after arriving we realized that the Relay for Life was was going on at the same time and the police had all the roads in and out of the park on lock-down. After persuading some policemen to let me through a blocked off road, I made my way over to the visitor center where I was joined by Tom, Mike, Austin, and eventually Nick who showed up the morning after going to Cor Jesu Prom. Potter and Plassmeyer didn't get the memo about meeting at the visitors center but we eventually found them jogging around the central fields. Nick, Matt, and myself finished a 60 minute run in which we traversed Art Hill, the World's Pair Pavilion, the Zoo, and the Muny. It was a great run and when we finished we spotted the Nerinx distance team and chatted with them for awhile while we waited for the other guys to finish. We finished the day with a visit to Legrand's Sub Shop where Tom personally made us our sandwiches. It was totally worth the wait, even though Mike got lost on the way over.
Final Notes:
1.) Congratulations to the 4 x 200 team of Kevonn "KV" Mabon, Tim Pickel, Durron "Hawkin" Neal, and "Sick" Nick Anderson as they broke the school record at the Kirkwood Invitational last Saturday.
2.) Mike needs to stop sending in-game tweets because the Blues lose every time he does.
3.) Nick Martini ran a big pr in the mile today of 4:41 in a JV meet. Go Nick!
4.) Our conference meet is Thursday beginning at 4pm at Chaminade.
