My middle school track team is progressing well this year. Unfortunately we only have 3 boys on the team so we do not compete well in the team competition but the boys are getting better every meet and becoming much better runners.
We had our second meet on Monday with only 2 boys because of one being sick,the boys ran the 200, 400, 800. Since they are both 6th graders and and at least a foot shorter than most of the runners they are running against the clock and running to improve every week.
the 400 is their best and favorite event and here are the results from the first meet to the 2nd:
N.N. - 1st meet 1:39.47, 2nd meet 1:32.22 - over 7 seconds improvement
R.R. - 1st meet 1:31.03, 2nd meet 1:26.85 - over 4 seconds improvement
I would take a 1:26 for a 400 these days :-)
We have 3 more meets and I would liek to see the boys continue to improve - hopefully I can keep them working out and have them ready for Cross Country next year.
