This is especially confusing why they are addressing this at the END of the season, while her 100m/200m speed has slowed consistantly up to now.
Her 1st 400m on April 7 was:
1:01.17
Her second 400m on April 26 was:
1:00.70
Her 400m time gets better, while her 100m/200m time is consistantly getting worse…
Except…this past Saturday…she ran a 1:02.82 400m…
This is because the Tuesday before, she had the Flu and missed school/practice, then on Thursday 26, it was a “League” meet, so they ran her in the:
4 x 100m
400m
200m
4 x 400m
She said her legs were gone after running the 400m and she did not do well her last 2 events obviously.
Then, only 2 days later for the last meet on Saturday, she just didn’t have enough time to recover.
She said she didn’t feel her “normal” energetic and excited self before running the 400m Saturday… she said she just didn’t have much energy or stamina.
Each week they normally run her:
4 x 100m
100m or 200m
4 x 400m
Some of the arm action in the past few meets I believe has alot to do with fatigue.
Here is a video from the April 26 (lane #5):
