Congrats to Bobby Marshburn who had a great two days in Jefferson. In the Discus he tossed one just short of his season best to earn 11th place and in the Shot Put he had a nearly 2-foot personal best to capture 5th place in Class A. On Friday evening he rn his best split of the year as the 4x400 team tried to earn a spot in the final.
Henry Dwyer battled illness and captured 7th in the very competitive 1600 m and earned his way into the finals of the 800 before deciding against competing Saturday.
Kurt Crymes and Adam Hearn both competed in the State Meet for the first time. In the 3200 Kurt ran a season's best and earned a spot on the podium with a 7th place finish while Adam was 12th in a time that earned 4th in 2008. Kurt also competed in the 1600 finishing 12th
The 4x400 took the track without Henry and gave a valiant effort finishing 6th in their heat with the 2nd best time they ran all season.
