2024 Don Osse Lakewood Tiger Invite Results

We were only allowed two runners per event, so priority went to athletes that would miss Mullen due to being away on Spring Break. Still, we had several outstanding performances and another 7 new personal records.

Lily, Adaline, Darby and Avery started off with a win in the 4x800! There was a lot of cheering as Avery caught and passed the leading runner on the homestretch.

The 1600 was next and Ashley improved her best time by almost 5 seconds to move up to 12th on the SHS All Time rankings. Cece had a PR and a huge 31-second season's best and moved up to 9th on the Junior list.

Cain beat his best time from last year with a 3-second personal record that moves him up to 13th SHS All Time.

Claire and Cora both ran new personal records in the 800 finishing within a second of each other. They are now ranked 22nd and 23rd All Time for SHS.

Likewise, Lukas and Owen both ran PRs in the 800 by close to 4 seconds each. They advanced to 5th and 7th in the Freshmen rankings.

Avery followed her strong leg of the 4x800 with a huge 40-second PR in the 3200 for second place. She jumped up to 6th on the SHS All Time list.

Finally, Josh ran the 4x400 with sprinters Jackson, Eddy and Quinn and dropped the season's best time to within a couple seconds of a potential State time.

We made significant inroads all over the SHS Top Times lists. Those can be seen here: Girls / Boys

Event Splits

These are my hand times. They aren't exact - especially the 200m splits. The final times are usually about a half second less than the official times, due to reaction time to the gun firing. Sometimes more if I was surprised by the gun. Most of the discrepancy in time from the official results should normally be added to the first split.

Spend a little time reviewing them and thinking about your race. Was your start too slow or too fast, did you slow down too much after the half, did you have too much left and finish too strong - with speed that could have been divvied up over previous laps?
