If you're looking for a good sporting spectacle this weekend, the State Track Meet [pdf] -- today and tomorrow at Omaha's Burke High School -- is the place to be. It's a huge event that's a joy to watch (and participate in).
I just have one question for this year's 800m athletes: What's with the slow times in Class A boys? Nobody has even broken 1:59.5! Class B has four guys under 1:58, with one at 1:56 (Connor Gibson from Blair). Come on, gents. I know at least a couple of you can crack a solid 1:56 now that you've made State.
How many of you Lincolnites competed at the State Track Meet? How did you do? I competed in the 800m twice. My best 800m time at state was 1:58, good enough for 5th in Class A in 1997. Today I could probably crack 2:30, then puke and pass out. I also competed in the 3,200m relay twice. We placed 5th in 1996 and 3rd in 1997 at 7:59.
