Varsity Season is Heating Up

Several Webster Distance Runners competed in the Tiger Invite on Saturday, as they try to nail down spots in the Sectional meet.

As you know, I am not a fan of the "race walk", but Becka put forth a nice effort to place 3rd in 8:08, behind just 2 R-H girls (one of whom placed 3rd at the XC Sectional meet last fall, leading R-H to the team title).

Speaking of R-H, what are they hearing? Would those be the footsteps of our 4 x 800m relay? Although the 8:40 was not our best time of the year, it is still fast enough to be 2nd in Class A in Section V. Only R-H, who have run 8:29 twice, have been faster. They will have to go much faster than that to win Sectionals!

Valarie ran a nice 600m to place 6th in 1:44 (again!). In the boys race, AJ edged out AB again, 1:29 to 1:30.

Whitty ran a 2:49 in the 1000m. That is an automatic Sectional time.

We didn't have anyone in the 1600/3200. I'm not sure who ran in the 4 x 800, but I saw no sign of Kenny, Nico, Chris, Ryan in the results. I hope everyone is healthy.

Yeah, RH is going to have to really step it up because we are going to catch them, you watch coach. I was too sick to run the mile after the 4x800 and Vanzo threw up. That's why you didn'see us.
