This quote was 6 days ago. Today, Jan 3, he ran 60H in 8.14 and a 6.98! Both times look to be top 10 in the country currently.
I didn’t think he’d get to sub 7 so fast in the indoor season. Overall great day, with still a lot of room for hurdle improvement. He got in too close to hurdles 4 and 5, hitting both of them.
The plan is to still race every 10 days or so. Using this, he has 4 more meets before state finals.
He also qualified for the New Balance Indoor Nationals the beginning of march.
Our goal is 7.70 in the hurdles. I’m trying to see where we can drop nearly half second. Ange, any ideas where the time can be improved? I’ll put video link up this weekend. I video 60fps to analyze flight times and touchdown times. Typical flight times are around 0.31 seconds Early last spring, he was around 0.4. At some point, I don’t think we can get to 0.2. So the improvement has to be to the first hurdle, between them, and the finish.
