The Stanford Invite ended like it finished for us. After two very good season opening races on Friday and even more rain overnight Lucy and Amanda came to the track on Saturday ready to race. Lucy was third in her heat (2:06.71) and Amanda second in her heat (2:08.06). They were third and fifth overall and both just missed lifetime best performances. So for the weekend we ran a total of 8100 meters across four races and missed four lifetime bests by just over four seconds total. That's how you like to begin the season!
At ASU we also had some solid performances to start the season. Langley cleared an outdoor lifetime best 5-10 to finish second overall (first collegian) in the high jump. Nikkie Rudder was eighth (in an outstanding field) in the shot put with a toss of 47-2. Bree took ninth in the long jump going 18-5.75. We also had several freshmen get their first outdoor experience and perform at a high level.
The videos are of Amanda and Lucy going down the backstretch on the opening lap of their 800 meter heats. Sorry for the poor video quality. It was a rainy/high humidity day and hard to keep everything dry.
