My High School Track Career has officially ended and its a bit of a strange feeling. I feel like I have acomplished quite a bit in these four years. I have gone from a 56 second split my freshman year to spliting 47 this year. My horizions have expanded to include the 800m which will likely become my main event in college. I am having my wisdom teeth removed this morning and will take two weeks of down time before training begins anew. Below is a quick summary of my pr’s for the year: (all times fat)
55m: 6.77
60m: 7.29
100m: 11.23w
200m: 22.32w and 22.45
400m: 49.05 (47.59 relay)
800m: 1:53.99
Congratulations on some very nice work!
You have had a super senior year and deserving of some down time; congrats. on a job well done.

Very nice PR’s dude!
Well done on your season mate. It’s been interesting following your progress. Very similar sessions to mine. Enjoy your off season. What are your plans?
congratulations on the medals why do you think your 400 wasn’t faster? do you plan on writing up an evaluation of the season?
I will probably write up an evaluation of the season and particularly of the 400m soon. I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday so I am a bit loopey right now
Haha man I wish you all the best recovering from your wisdom teeth. You injured a shitload of bodyparts but getting your wisdom teeth removed will top all of them. Thats a bitch and a half to deal with. lol
Besides that, you’ve had a great year and should be proud of all your accomplishments. You put in a great 4 years and are cream of the crop. You deserved these 2 weeks of rest.
Good stuff man. If your looking to go into 8’s further on, then keep working on your speed, just also add in some more endurance based work - with a 49s 400, i would be looking more for a 1.49 - 1.51. How many races did u do over the last season in 8’s?
I appoligize for being so slack lately, I will post my synopsis of the season here later.

That is some serious progress!
A buddy of mine started off as a 100/200/400 guy in high school, was running 11.1, 22.3 and 49 low. In college the coach switched him to 800m, and he now runs 1.47. No doubt the sprint background formed the base work for his great talent in the 800m.
