Thomas Today

After Friday's experience, we open the real season today against Thomas. Despite sharing the track with them during practice, I don't really know their strengths and weaknesses, but from all indications, it should be a close meet.

The Thomas distance team is really made up of their "big three". It will be interesting to see where Jared, Cole and Tim decide to run, and how our top guys can match up in a dual meet setting. And if the meet comes down to the 4x800 relay, Thomas has several young kids that would be candidates to round out the relay and create a very exciting race.

The Thomas girls, I think, have everyone back from the 4x800 relay that went to the state meet last year. Their girls don't seem to move up distances as well as ours do, but we should see some exciting distance races on the girls' side as well.
