O'Fallon ran their best 4x800 team without Riba or Perrier. Those two are focusing on their 1600 and not doubling. Riba ran at sectionals to get them to state, but they probably didn't expect to make it out of prelims.

In regards to Keelan's 1600.... WOW. That is all I can say.

How often does an entire heat make finals?

That had to suck for Wold... take 2nd in heat 2, having the 5th best time with one heat left, and then that happens.

Only seniors in the 800 final. Should be an interesting event to watch next year. Also, who the heck is this Peter Archibald kid running 1:52? Am I just out of the loop or is this really as big of a surprise as I think?

Rantis and Ramirez are in the 4x4 and Juras is in the 1600. We did this last year, ran our top team at sectionals to qualify and then pull our guys in other events to give some deserving kids a little taste for next year.

Well when you have 6 guys running 52 or under in the 400, you have to put your scrubs in somewhere...

Marlin Brady has run 48.2 and Payton is a very good 800 guy
