State Qualifiers
Complete results from the State Qualifiers are here for the boys, and here for the girls.
It was another fine meet for the Schroeder Boys. Geoff had the first final of the meet, the Steeplechase. It was run as a combined race for Division 1 and Division 2. Geoff tried to go out conservatively - he was in last place for the first lap - but the crowd was out too quickly, so Geoff's place was quite good, but the time was a bit slower than Counties.
Geoff 77 2:35 3:55 5:19 6:45 8:12 9:43 10:32
Brycen won the 400 in 48.20, with his very strong move past Twombly on the back stretch looking good, and the 200 split was very fast, but the last 50m proved to be a bit of a struggle.
Nico was up in the 400 hurdles and went out quicker than usual and was leading through much of the race, but the closing speed of the guys from East and Edison was just too much. Nico did PR in 56.73.
Next up was the 800, and we had three entrants. The race went out very quickly, the top 4 came through around 56, with our pack back at 60. AJ, confident that there were not two 1:56.94 or better times to be had, cruised through the second lap, while Nate and Joe went after the rest of the pack. Nate moved all the way up to 4th, and Joe was able to grab 6th. Andrew Pirnie had an incredible run to win in 1:56.55 and Knapp from Arcadia gave AJ a scare, but did miss the state cutoff time.
Nate 60 2:01.74
Joe 60 2:03.38
AJ 60 2:06.79
Finally, it was time for the main event - the much anticipated 4 x 800 relay. With R-H pulling Nick Watson from the open 800, it was clear that they thought they had a shot at HF-L and/or Schroeder. Meanwhile, Brighton was actually the second seed, and Fairport's relay members were all running just the one event.
The leadoff legs were very quick, right from the line, and Ben was pushed back to last place. He made a strong move on the backstretch during the second lap, and moved up to 5th, behind Hilton, R-H, Fairport and HF-L. Despite Nico's very fast first lap, he did not close much of the gap on those teams, but as they faded on the second lap, he shot by Hilton, then caught Fairport and R-H, but still trailed HF-L by about two seconds. AJ made up the gap on Deir on the first lap, with a quick 54.87. As the hit the top of the final stretch, AJ tried to pass and managed to pull even, but that's how they finished. Brycen took the handoff on the outside, but Mangan let him pull in front, and followed him thru the 400 in a pedestrian 61, before making a very strong move. Brycen chose to wait, rather than covering the move, and even allowed Watson to catch him. With 200 to go, Brycen took off and was able to finish 4 seconds ahead of R-H for the state berth (R-H was also under the state standard), but the move came too late to challenge Mangan, who won by over two seconds. Still, the 7:54.55 finish time crushed last year's school record time by 15 seconds.
Ben 60 2:01.81
Nico 56.7 1:57.50
AJ 54.87 1:54.18
Brycen 61 2:00.75
Kevin had a great day in the Pent, winning the Hurdles, the High Jump and the Long Jump, and finishing with a 5:05 in the 1500, to grab the overall win.
Val went 62.35 in the girls 400. She was joined by the weight girls, who went 3-4-6 in the Discus along with 6th in the Shot.

Sometimes A Tie Is Better Than Kissing Your Sister
Being the optimist that I am, I see the team's fantastic performance on Saturday and the patches that everyone received, and I see Sectional Champions! Going into the meet as 11-point underdogs to three-time defending champions, Edison, we knew it would be a challenge, but the guys stepped up to the challenge and earned the [co-]championship by equaling Edison's 91 points.
Complete results are available here.
For us, things went mostly according to the seeding, but there were a few gains that enabled our ultimate victory:
Kevin grabbed second in the hurdles (was seeded 3rd)
The 4x4 relay finished 2nd, after being seeded 3rd
Brycen took third in the 100 (was seeded tied for 3-4-5)
Nate worked his way up for a 3rd in the 3200 (was seeded 8th!)
I'll have to post splits at a later time.

What A Meet!
Last Saturday, Schroeder successfully defended our Monroe County title by scoring a whopping 108 points to top the 22-team field, with Gates scoring 69 and Rush-Henrietta scoring 66.
Big performances were the order of the day. Our first win of the day came in the first event, with Kevin Enck winning the hurdles. Nico made it 2-for-2 for Schroeder by winning the Steeplechase, and Geoff added 4 points by finishing 5th.
Nico 78 2:36 3:55 5:14 6:34 7:55 9:16 10:00
Geoff 80 2:40 3:59 5:21 6:44 8:10 9:38 10:26
After being shut out in the 4 x 100 relay, we bounced back in the 4 x 400, with the always-exciting Brycen almost coming up with the win from 5-6 seconds back.
Kyle 53.07
Joe Wi 54.73
AJ 52.25
Brycen 47.21
We didn't manage to score in the tough 1600 race.
Adrian 69 2:19 3:30 4:39.3
Steve 69 2:19 3:31 4:52
Brycen went back-to-back in the 100 / 400 and grabbed 2nd / 1st. Next up was the 3200, with Geoff, Nate and Adrian in the fast heat, but seeded well back from scoring position. But first, John W represented in the "slow" heat, coming thru in 5:19 before the week's effort took its toll. In the next heat, Nate was our main man, since the others had already run, and after a 4:58 mile left him barely in the top 15, he picked his way through the field to grab 7th.
Nate 73 2:28 3:42 4:58 6:15 7:32 8:49 9:59
Geoff 74 2:31 3:49 5:08 6:27 7:49 9:08 10:28
John W 81 2:40 3:59 5:19 6:41 8:05 9:28 10:51
Adrian 76 2:34 3:54 5:17 6:42 8:09 9:34 11:02
Up next was Nico, completing a very unusual and challenging double, by winning the 400 Hurdles in 57. This was followed by AJ executing a very nice strategy to win the 800.
AJ 57 1:55.99
Joe W 62 2:02.70
Justin M 64 2:05.34
Next, Brycen put the meet well in control, with a third straight Schroeder victory, this one coming in the 200, which also served as the rubber match in Brycen's victory over young Brian Smith from Athena.
That left the 4 x 800 relay. Since it was not needed for the meet, AJ sat out, allowing Joe W to try to double back from the open 800. He ran a very poor tactical race, winding up in outside lanes far too much. A fine run by Steve put us in the hunt, before an incredible run by Ben moved us up to second place. Nico made a valiant effort to try to catch Brighton, but the 6 or 7 second lead was just a bit too much.
Joe W 62.68 2:07.77
Steve 58.40 2:01.89
Ben 61.36 2:01.30
Nico 60.27 2:00.59

Victory!
OK, so last night's exciting 71-70 win over Fairport has encouraged me to find time that I don't have to post something here. It is 6:40pm, I am still at work, and I still have some financials to pull together for a 9am meeting, but the story needs to be told!
The scouting report had us earning a close, but comfortable win; however, it was clear after two events that Fairport had brought their A-Game. Hitting the final hurdle cost us a point in the 110 Highs, and AJ got edged out for 2nd in the 400 on a call by the official that I was glad I did not have to make. So, we were already down by 3 points when our #2 sprinter reported that the tape job was not working on his blisters, indicating another point (or 3) would be lost in the 100. Adrian ran with near-perfect tactics to grab 2nd in the 1600, behind Nico, who quickly came back to win the 400 Hurdles. As quickly as the distance team looked to be getting the job done, things went south for us as well. AJ's ankle was in rough shape following the 400, so he was out of the 800. Steve and a heavy-legged Nate, who had raced nearly three hours in the previous two days, were no match for the strong Fairport 800 crew. Steve's 2:03 PR was only good for 4th place. Meanwhile, we found out our top Pole Vaulter had no-heighted, thanks to starting too high, given his sore back.
It was starting to look like we would need to win two relays to salvage the meet. But some good news trickled in from the field. Our 7th grade Triple Jumper had apparently grabbed 2nd, although one jumper had an attempt remaining. It also appeared our High Jumper was on the way to an expected, but difficult win, after having pulled off a surprise win in the Long Jump. A third place in the Shot by our #2 guy, plus a surprise 3rd by our #3 sprinter in the 200 meant that we would only need one relay.
Which relay do you pick when you've won the 100, gone 1-3 in the 200 and 400, and were swept in the 800? The 4 x 100 or 4 x 400? No, you load up the 4 x 800! And we did. And won comfortably in 8:17, wrapped up with a strong 1:59 third leg by AJ, giving Brycen a sizable lead, which left no doubt in the outcome.
