2024 Mullen Results

Being the first day of Spring Break, we brought a smaller distance contingent to Mullen. There were still several outstanding performances.

Highlights have to include Josh's 9:38.72 for the win in the 3200. That time is right at the qualifying time cut off for State the last two years. It might hold, it might not. Josh will certainly do another 3200 to lock down a qualifying time. Josh is now (likely) qualified for State in all 3 distance events - the 800, 1600 and 3200. He may contribute to qualifying 4x400s and 4x800s as well.

Lila ran a 6-second PR in the 1600 but was just getting started. Three hours later she ran a 40-second PR in the 3200!

Daniel ran a 42-second PR in the 1600, to my memory the biggest SHS PR of the season.

It was sunny and a bit on the warm side (for Summit kids) in the morning. In the afternoon a thundercloud parked overhead and unleashed shifting winds. Lindsey won a very windy 800 that Claire ran a PR in. 

Jay was busy. He ran a 4:33.53 1600 that was just .2 seconds from breaking his PR set at Rifle. Then he tested his speed and ran a .3 second PR in the 400. John's knee was hurting, so Jay substituted in for him and ran a strong 3200 for third place. 

Cain ran a 21-second season best in the 3200 and is now just 5 seconds off his PR from last season.

Adaline, Lila, Claire and Lindsey wrapped up the meet with a 4th place in the 4x400.

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?

State Qualification Update

One more event went "light green." Josh's 9:38.73 is just under 2023's qualifying time but a bit over 2022's qualifying time. Josh will race the 3200 at Holy Family to see if he can lock it down.

2024 Mullen

BUS: None

WHERE:  Mullen High School, Denver

DISTANCE ENTRIES: Express your desired events here.

There will be 3 individual entries per event and we are adding a sprint medley relay for the boys to make the events even for scoring purposes. Jumps and throws will be 4 attempts with no finals. Heats will run slowest to fastest with the fast girls heat and boys heat back to back. In the hurdle races, it will run slowest to fastest for the girls heats and fastest to slowest in the boys heats to still showcase our fast heats back to back. The 3200 is broken up throughout the meet as indicated on the schedule.

Overall, the top 3 in each event will receive a medal. We will run as close to on-time as we can but the meet is set to run as a rolling schedule if we find ourselves behind or if inclement weather is imminent
