Week 28: 5/9

5/9 Wauwatosa. MU was locked so Deven trained at Hart Park. Rain showers around, but we got the workout done before getting drenched. Warm up was followed by 1-step and 2-step drilling, 3x up/back progression. 200 (no hurdles) 60 sec rest, 200 (with hurdle 5-6-7-8). Targeted 28-31 and ran 28-28 -- great! Ran to car. Got wet.

NACC: Brilliant, record-breaking weekend

5/5 Lisle IL. Day two weather was even better. Lighter breezes and temps in the 80s. Rachel and Maia began the day in 3rd and 5th, respectively, in multi. Strong performances in LJ and JR moved them up to 2nd and 3rd, which they maintained in the 800. Rachel had PRs in 5 of the 7 events.

WHJ began in the morning, and Lea, RachelR, Michaela, Bianca and RachelL all were in contention to score. RachelR was moving back and forth between hep JT and open HJ, and tied with Binaca for 12th at 4-5.5. RachelL made the next height on her final attempt and had a couple good attempts at 4-9.5, but had to settle for 11th at 4-7.5 because of the two misses. Lea jumped the same height but had one fewer miss and took 9th. Michaela also jumped 4-7.5 but got it on her first attempt, which got her a tie for 7th.

 4x1 was next. Just our third race of the year and with our third different lineup, Jess, Des, Lea and Jerica combined for a surprising 2nd place finish and school record. 100H finals were about an hour later. Jess ran her best race ever, running 15.17, breaking the school record by .01 and finishing 2nd. Holly had a strong race, finishing 8th in 16.55.

In HJ, Keaton bounced back well after a sub-par day at Beloit, jumping 5-5.75 for 8th and having some good jumps at PR height. Alex entered at 5-9.5, cleared that and made 5-11.5 on his second attempt, which was good enough for 5th. He had some great jumps at 6-1.5, a height that would have put him 3rd.

400H finals were going about the same time. Jess had good distribution and a strong finish to reduce her previous best and school record a few tenths to 65.65, which got her into 2nd. Des ran another strong race, getting 8th in 72.13. In the men's race, Deven again broke the 60 mark and finished 6th, becoming the 8th fastest in MSOE history.

Jess, Des, RachelR and Holly somehow found the energy to run strong 4x4. No small feat. This was event 7 for Jess, event 6 for Des, 10 for Rachel and 5 for Holly. Splits: Jess 60.8, Des 64.8, Rachel 66.5, Holly 65.9.

5/4 Lisle IL. Great weather for day of NACC championships. Jess and Holly qualified for 100H finals, and Jess and Des qualified for 400H finals. Deven ran a PR, became the 9th MSOE hurdler to break the 60 mark and qualified for 400H finals. RachelR, Sam and Maia in first day of heptathlon had strong performances in hurdles and high jump. Rachel equaled her PR of 4-8.25.
