This ones a short one but there was definitely some exciting stuff going on yesterday the 2nd of April. First off the weather was forecast to be complete crap but luckily it was slightly windy, temperatures in 40's, and sunny most of the day. In fact it didn't rain until we got back home.
So heres how the day went. Right off the bat it was rough since my second boy shot putter decided to roll his ankle twice playing in the snow Thursday and then my 3rd shot putter just never showed up. Sorry, man, but 2minutes late means you're late. Seniors got to know better and get there early. Then to cap off the morning we went to the wrong damn high school AND as we were driving to the correct school we see an old man collapse on the sidewalk and smack his head on the pavement. So we sprang into action, helped him up, got paramedics on scene then bailed. Hey we helped and the dude was either in shock or just crazy. He yelled at the siren to stop talking so fast he cant answer that quickly...right, anyways.
So the meet itself for us was rough at first. Karly was slinging 'em out right sector but bailed and had to settle for a below average final throw just to get a mark. Hedy made a statement that she is not to be left for JV as she finally broke the 100' barrier in disc on her final throw. So I guess that answers who's my starting throwers in disc now.
Girls shot would have been great if it was a relay day. 32 from Kristen (2nd place), 30'1 from Allissa, and 28'9 (I think) from Hedy. Didn't see any shotput as the disc ring was about 8 blocks away in a park so I ended up staying there the whole time. Same goes for boys shot although Jesse won the event with a nice 51'5" and Marko and Nate filling in to throw shot with some pretty decent throws in the mid 30's.
Boys disc is what really stole the show. Right off the bat I could Jesse was about to rip a big throw judging from his warmups. He already has 1 win under his belt for the day AND long jumped a PR of 21'7" barely missing 1st by 1/2". He opened up with a VERY conservative 147 but then launched a massive PR in the 2nd round with 176'2". Not only does that break his personal record, the meet record, sits him atop the state rankings, AND qualifies for nationals in June...holy shit indeed. Best part is were just in week 2 of outdoor season. Oh yea and he won the MVP Field Events award for the day totaling 28pts.
Now not to forget Marko and Nate had respectable days as well. Nate opened up with a good throw but had a small toe foul and had to settle for a 101' on the day. Marko had some solid throws and finished with a PR of 129'8" earning him a 5th place finish.
Now a real test is coming up again- Solon. We have a duel meet at their place this coming Wednesday then a big invite down in Lexington this coming Saturday. Jesse has PR'd 3 meets in a row...wonder if that streak will continue.
