WARTBURG DMR RECAP
Well, our DMR at Wartburg last Friday didn’t exactly go as expected. It was still a new school record of 10:04.84, but unfortunately our 400m leg, Cooper Smith, got tripped up coming into the handoff to our 800m leg, Owen Montreuil, and actually fell down. Owen had to run back a few seconds to get the baton, and obviously that caused a bit of chaos for the rest of the race. If you added up what Cooper, Owen and Cole have run this year for the 400m, 800m and 1600m, and then added what our 1200m leg Nick St. Peter ran for the 1200m leg of our DMR last year, 3:05.1, it gave us about 9:58. The last time into Nationals this year for the DMR ended up being 9:54. Unfinished business now for next year!
INDOOR NATIONALS
Luckily, Cole still qualified for this weekend’s indoor national meet as the 13th entrant in the mile with his 4:10.26 time from the Indoor MIAC meet. We landed in Birmingham, Alabama yesterday, and are excited to see what he can do this weekend. The prelims are tomorrow at 2:50pm CST, and Cole is in heat #1. Finals are on Saturday at 4:10pm CST.
