2 weeks since last post…
He ended up racing a bit after he and I discussed some things. He ran 13.6 in his meet back and 37.2. Technically was outstanding. Unfortunately I was running the finish line and didn’t get video.
A few days later he ran again, btu looked really bad in the 110s but fantastic in the 300s. Without practicing it, he has found a great cadence that should get him to be state champ in the 300s. With some issues still lingering, training has been scarce, s I have chosen a race a rest method. This is similar to what we did during indoors.
After the poor race we had a week off. It was mostly just warm-up drills over hurdles working on little things like arm and trail leg positions. At regionals, the focus was a great start, which he did in the prelims flying through the first 6 hurdles before cruising to advance. Smei finials he repeated it and eased over 9 and 10 to advance. In the finals, tore through the entire 10 in 13.7, a regional meet record set by the state record holder. Everything so far is on track to get the 13.65 FAT state meet record we set out for in the fall. In the 300H, he ran a very clean fast ran in 37.4. 2nd place was at 40.0. =)
He also ran in 2 relays and did a great job.
This week we have the league championship on Tuesday, county championship on Thursday, and team state championship on Saturday, then gets 1 week of “Rest” to prepare for individual state finals where he will run both hurdles and 2 sprint relays.
