EDC Championships

5/19/2013

The weather turned out to be much better than expected, it was sunny in the 80's, humid, and dead calm.  We had decided as a Boy's distance group that we wanted to qualify our 4x800 and this meant we had to have a couple of distance runners sacrifice their chance in the 1600m.  Camron Roehl, Alex Dianat, Chris Caraballo, and Ben Wood got the meet started out by running a state quailfying time of 8:22.58 and placing 4th.  Killian Gause quickly followed with great race in the 300H and finished 5th.  During the races on the track Carrington Adams and Jake Mussman were battling to make it to state in the triple jump.  Carrington made it with a 5th place finish, Jake came up short by finishing 9th.  Our 4x200m relay team of Carrington, Wes Austin, Rylie Devier, and Killian Gause had great hand offs and finished 3rd. 

Next came the highlight race of the day for me as the distance coach.  Going into the girls mile only Ali Lindsay had met the state qualifying time of 5:30.24.  We had four girls in the fast heat of the mile, all needing to PR to qualify for the state meet.  They all ran a smart race, being involved immediately and all ran qualilfying times to make it to state.  Karly Ackley 5th, 5:26.50 (PR 8.5 Secs), Lily Larsen 7th, 5:27.31 (PR 10.96 secs), Rachel Cox 8th, 5:28.14 (PR 16.23 secs), Ali Lindsay 10th 5:29.36.  It was amazing to have four girls run state qualifying times when they had to!  Rounding out the girls milers was Meghan Allan who also PR'd by 21 secs. 

Nick Ackley gave his all in the boys 1600m, PR'd but came up just short by finishing 7th in the mile, followed by Alex Dianat's 9th place finish.   Over at the Javelin Brandon LaHaise threw 161' 5"  to punch his ticket to state and also finish 6th!.  Carrington showed why he was the 2013 Cliff Cushman award winner by jumping to a 2nd place finish in the long jump. 

The lone Central EDC champion came from Karly Ackley.  Karly ran smart stragetic 3200m race, she took the lead with 800 meters to go and never looked back.  Lily Larsen went out and tried to qualify her 2nd event of the day and ran tough but came up just short by placing 7th.  Her brother, Freshman Leif Larsen turned in one of the gutsiest performances of the day in the 3200m run for the boys.  Going into the race Leif had the goal of placing in the top 6 and being the first freshman distance runner for Central boys in the 3200m to make it to the state meet. With one lap to go, Leif was over 50m out of 6th.  Over the last 200m Leif passed the Davies runner to finish 6th in a time of 10:08.55, tenths of second from breaking the freshman record.  But he earned one more chance to break that record by running at the state meet.
