What a great Region Meet for the Panthers! Although not everything went perfect, we had many athletes go above the projections and as a team, we really stepped forward. Day 1 saw three new qualifiers in the 1600. In the girls' race, Caroline set a quick pace and led herself and Jessica to a 4th and 3rd place finish (qualifying by time and place). On the guys' side, Alex also set out a quick pace and pushed to a 4th place qualifying time and place. The boys' medley ran a very solid race taking 2nd and putting up the 3rd fastest 3A time this season. The rest of the day saw many athletes making finals and setting personal bests. Day 2 brought a few more qualifiers and many placers in the finals. Josie went went our theme and went out hard in the girls' 800 and held on to a qualifying time. Dillan threw the shot to a 2nd place finish. Jacob State Q'ed in the 100 and had the performance of the day as he won the LJ in his first attempt at the event with a jump just short of 22'. The boys' 4x400 ran their best race of the season and placed 2nd and made State by time and place. Jake ran a PR in the 300's and placed 3rd. Carson ran a strong race and placed 3rd in the 3200. Even many of those who didn't qualify had great performances. Kobe joined Colin and Jacob in the LJ finals. Raymond made finals in the shot. Dillan, Dylan, and Jakobe all made finals in the jav. Amelia scored well in both jumps. Celeste placed in the jav. Many of our distance runners scored in the top 8. Jada ran an excellent 800 (moving her to #3 freshman in the state). And the list could go on and on!
We are super proud of all our athletes. Thanks for all your hard work. And thanks for pulling together as a team. Remember what we talked about at the end of the meet... evaluate your season and what you can to do continue to grow; figure out who you can bring to the team next year to help us grow and continue to improve; and continue to push yourself and those around you to be your best.
