There are a lot of people in the bleachers, there's no way they're all there to watch the workout. It's probably a middle school or Junior High meet.

Way to sound like a jerk there, the kid is only in high school and has already run 13:55. Only a few runners have gone under 14 in high school and doubtful that you're one of them.

Derrick is out for the season with mono now.....working out and racing a little too hard and too much.

Him and Fout are both out. Pretty sad.

"However I cannot understand this being called a race simulation when they are running 41's for 300." -Confused...well if you had listened to what the coach had said before the workout maybe you'd understand. The 300's were not intended for race simulation, only the 1k's were. The 300's were for getting them on there feet and running fast.

Have you noticed that in collegiate and elite workouts they do a running start. In high school it's always a standing start.

Answer   May 22, 2008 at 11:28am
probs because there were a bunch of people getting in his way or walking on the track near him. if you have ever run a really tough workout you know a simple inconvenience can turn into anger because of how hard your running

Neuqua Valley Workout

November 25, 2008
Flotrack's David Williams recently attended a practice at Neuqua Valley high school in Naperville, IL. Neuqua Valley has had a long tradition of excellence and most recently won the Illinois state Championship in 2007. They capped off their season with a win at Nike Team Nationals in December. Here several members of the team prepare for their upcoming Sectional races. Leading the group is Chris Derrick who ran 13:55 in May at the Arcadia Invitational. This was the fastest Junior time ever run in high school only competition. That run put Chris in some pretty elite company as the last two juniors to run under 14 minutes were Olympic hopeful Galen Rupp and Marathon trials runner-up Dathan Ritzenhein. Chris is followed closely by Danny Pawola, Jim Riddle, and Aaron Beattie. Both Pawola and Riddle have run 9:11 for 3200m, and the youngster Beattie has run 9:24 as a Sophomore.
