Naperville: Brian improves 400H PR

5/18  At Naperville. Good weather, rain shower, shifting winds hampered things. Joe and Brian M ran 15.61 and 16.23 into a -1.6 headwind as winds shifted prior to their race. Had the race run in the other direction as 100 did later, they would have been around their PR times. In 400H, Joe got out well but had some minor issues in the turn and ran 57.25. Brian J ran a PR 59.45 (#5 all time) and Logan 62.02. In HJ, rain delayed the start about an hour. Nate and Brian M both made 6-2.75, tying for 9th. Jerome cleared 6-4.75, tying for 5th. Everyone had at least one good jump at the next height.

5/14  At Marquette. Cool but nice day for Brian, Nate and Jerome at high jump. Pre-meet warm up, including RTs and practice jumps at 5-10. Took 3 jumps at 1.85 (6-0.75) with bar, 3 at 1.90 with bungee and then 4 at 1.95 with bungee. Worked on plant angle and pushing speed in turn to enhance lean away. Brian J did tempo work on turf, did some easy running and then some hurdle drills to prep for 400H on Friday.

NAC: Joe takes down 400H record

5/3  At Wisconsin Lutheran.  Cold, wind and rain -- what else is new? Sporadic light rain, persistent winds and temperatures in the low 40s made it tough on everyone. Unless your name is Joe. He ran his preliminary 400H in 56.30, knocking a few tenths off his previous record and placing himself into the finals with the fastest qualifying time. Mike also made the final, despite his sore hamstring and conservative approach to the race (70.19). Nate had a strong finish and posted 76.25. Logan had a heel first landing and skidded down and out of his lane off hurdle 2. Brad competed in is first decathlon. Day 1 consisted of: 100 (13.50), LJ (16-11.25), SP (32-4.75), HJ (4-11), 400 (60.14). He's in 6th going into Day 2.

5/4  At Wisconsin Lutheran. Warmer weather and sunny skies made for some good performances. Brad moved all the way into 2nd in the decathlon: 110H (18.95), DT (110-3), PV (10-4), JT (130-11), 1500 (5:11+). Joe won a full set of medals -- gold, silver and bronze for 4x4, 4x1 and 110H (PR 15.51 #2 all time). He also added a 4th in 400H (56.74). Brian got 3rd in HJ (6-4) and 7th in 110H (16.30 #3 all time). Nate and Jerome also cleared 6-4, tying for 4th. Mike made 6-0, tying for 7th, and Carson cleared 5-6. In the women's meet, Alex was T6th in HJ (4-5.5), and Kasey jumped 4-3.5. In the hurdles, Nathalie was 5th (18.85). Kasey took 4th in 400H (PR 77.02 #3 all time) and Nathalie 7th (78.03 #5 all time). Athlete of meet for our group: Joe for being our leading point-getter in this meet and breaking the 400H record.
