Interesting morning so far.
Eike wins 5A in 9:07, Michalak in 10:2X.
Mountain Vista girls and boys won their 4x800s in fast times -- 9:09 and 7:46. The boys race was pretty incredible -- MV drove to the lead at the start of the last leg instead of tucking in, and I really thought their anchor was going to pay the price for it and get caught. Ended up in a diving finish, just a couple hundredths off, and MV held on.
Niwot boys and girls both won their 4x800 races in 9:07 and 7:43. The 7:43 is, I believe, the second fastest time ever in CO. Niwot boys dominated the whole way and I really thought they had that record in the bag as Culpepper went through the bell lap needing just about a 60 to break the record, but it looked like he went out a bit hot on that first lap so he was dying in the final 200. He ran 1:54.7 (PR of 1:52.X) and they missed the record by about a second. Probably split something like . That last 100 had to hurt! He has a beautiful stride though, wow. His first 400 was pretty incredible to watch. Fearless.
