Needed to get this race out of my system, I'm really excited for the 800m though. I want to run 29, 58, and then kick with everything I've got. In the mile we went out good wit a 66 but, Christian took the lead but then he died and ran a 70 second lap and I had to work my out of the pack to get going and by that time with the slow pace at like mid 3:20s at the 1200 I kind of just wanted to qualify. But in the 800m I've got a plan and I'm going to execute.

How many from region go to state? Did you qualify?

Good luck in the 800m.

It looks like there maybe only one other runner that has a time faster than you, so try to stay at the front so you don't have to worry about getting out of the pack. Be TUFF.

Top 4 qualify Mark, so yes, Blake is going to the state meet.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that! I'm seeded 3rd in the 800m, if I run under 2:00 I should be able to snag 2nd, 1st will probably require a 1:57 or 1:56, so I'm excited to see what I can do the 2nd lap!
