The all freshmen quartet of Megan Combe (3:48), Lauryn McKay (58.1), Nikki Dotter(2:20.5), and Amanda Mergaert (4:57.3 finished 10th overall and ran the third fastest distance medley relay time (12:03.23) in Utah school history at the ISU Classic tonight.
I was pleased with the overall effort. That was Megan's first ever race at 1200 meters so the learning curve was very steep. Lauryn did a nice job to gain a few spots during the 400 meter leg. Nikki keeps improving week by week. Amanda's split was 10 seconds faster than a week ago which is not normal. She is really starting to figure things out and run with confidence. I was most impressed by this groups approach. They asked excellent questions and prepared like a veteran team rather than the young, inexperienced group that they are. That really bodes well for the future. They all competed very hard. Hopefully, we can recover and get prepared to run even better in tomorrow's individual events.
