Drake Relays April 22-24, 2010

Over any three-day meet there are ups and downs. At the best of times there is the elation of having improved one’s time or position etc. At the worst of times you learn what you need to do to improve and gain the experience of competing against the best. The 2010 Drake edition proved more competitive than any I have witnessed in 13 years. It was great. As you can see the standard of excellence was met in nearly every instance and the only time it wasn’t the runners came back the next day and put their names in red. We continue to progress and learn. This week brings the Forwald/Coleman relays which will be the best Invitational meet in the state this year. Experience gained this weekend will help us compete this coming Friday.
