I hope the speed translates to speed on the field.

I'm guessing the weather conditions weren't great?

**dinger** · 04-25-2009, 09:27 AM

wow kids are getting slower. my senior year 11.1 didnt even make the finals.

**MontyBurns** · 04-25-2009, 09:44 AM

Yesterday they were running directly into a 25-30 mph headwind.

Cotton placed 2nd? Wow...I never would have pegged him for faster than Lenz.

**arganbright2** · 04-25-2009, 02:34 PM

Wow---I'm an idiot. I saw the times for the 110 hurdles and thought they were a part of the 100 times. I couldn't believe 15 seconds was one of the times until I realized it was for hurdles

Same with mine. However, you have to take into account the weather conditions. Cold, rainy, and windy, is a sprinters worst nightmare.

Except for the small fact that YESTERDAY (Friday), when they actually ran the race, it was sunny and in the Eighties. Perfect sprinting weather. This is a glacial time. For all of them.

You mean they dont run these events in a vacuum?

It was still windy as can be. And the wind swirls bbbaaadddd in that place...ran there every year from 2004 to 2007 and no matter what direction the wind was from, you ran into it.

It was pretty windy yesterday as well.

Cotton will need that speed for running from the police.

I ran there back in 2001.. the weather was amazing.. I don't recall any wind being a problem, and it was pretty warm that weekend. I still can't beleive that was 8 years ago.
