News & Updates

Overall, an extremely entertaining meet. There was Peter Callahan's insane triple in Class A (1:53 leg on the 4x800, 1:51.22 in the open 800, and 4:15.30 in the 1600), Hillcrest's dominance in Class 2A, and Jeff Thode's state meet record and nation-leading 4:05.17 in the Class 3A 1600 to name a few.

Special thanks to Dan Coldagelli who helped me cover the meet and Nathan Atkinson for supplying the videos that were missing.

I would've loved to see video on Block, Riley, and the rest of the state champions in the field. I recommend for next year recording 2 jumps/throws of the top 8 qualifiers marks in jumps/throws because state champion always is decided in prelims. For PV/HJ record only the final 2 competitors. Afterwards only post whats necessary. What do you think Knewitz?” I would have loved to record all of the field events. It is really difficult however as they are occuring during races and I only had one camera. Hopefully if this meet is covered this year they can deliver a bit on the field events. reply

If it is invalid, make sure you downloaded the entire file by checking the size of the file you downloaded to the size of the file listed on that webpage. reply
