Willow Glen Invite

Before I pass out (up til 4 last night thanks to a 12:15 showing of the watchmen)

Here are the results:

Girls 4*100 - Erika, Courtney, Catherine and Lauren get second place with a 53.15 (Evergreen won with a 53.10) I need to see the film to confirm but to me I think those were the best handoffs we have had in my 6 years. (Note: Last year at this meet they ran 55.51)

Boys 4*100 - Jeff, Greg, Billy, James - Another battle with Evergreen, this time James brings us back and we get the win by .02 over EV. (45.31)

Olivia - Got her first race of the year under her belt with a very good 12:20 for the 2 mile. She got stuck in no mans land a little bit but ran a good race.

100m - Catherine ran a PR, JAcob ran in the wrong heat (still ran a fast 12.10), Billy and James both ran 11.7s

Long Jump - Jeff almost broke the 18 foot barrier with a 17'11" jump, Kenny had a rough day at the office (3 scratches) Lauren got third, with a PR and school record (14'11) . Courtney jumped 13'5.5 and had some good scratches, and Emily got over the nerves she had to pop off a 12'0.25"

200m - Pauline Olsen, wow, she ran a 27.31 in her first ever 200 and took third overall. Greg won his heat with a 24.38, Erika had a bit of a miscalculation but still came back to run a 28.93, Jacob ran a nice 24.42, and Eric had some block troubles in his first 200 (25.65)

400m - Pauline Olsen, double wow, she ran a 60.98 with only one other person in her heat. The second place person was over 5 seconds back. Kenny battled down the stretch with a runner from Fremont and edged him with a 60.12, nothing like a good battle to keep the homestretch interesting instead of like a funeral procession. Kenny was feeling it though afterward.

Adam - Ran a very easy 5:09 for a 21 second PR, it should be under 5 mins before April.

Trevor, Trevor got his first race in, he got a cramp toward the end of the race but pushed through to get a time of 12:15 in the 2 mile.

  2. Good Job everyone!
    Pauline does the 200m now? Weirdddd
    I got a chance to see SF state's track meet yesterday and got to see some Javelins being thrown and (the event in which I kept bugging Raymond to add in) the Steeple chase! Oh Coach Mike, I hung out with the SJSU club team and they said they knew you from a Los Gatos invitational when you were jumping some crazy length.

  3. Yeah I remember competing against them last year. I think I was jumping 22 feet then. Armando, I could see you being a steeple chaser.

    By the way California may allow high schools to start javelin in 5 years from now. They said it was a possibility so start learning about it because the whole state will be needing Jav coaches.

  4. This guy at the meet threw the Javelin over 180 (feet? not sure what measurements they use but it landed about 80 meters away.) it went past the lines chalked into the field.
    Me a steeple chaser? Nah I'll leave that to Lisa.
    I'm a 4x4 guy at heart.
