ND Relays

[janobilly20]

It seems the meet this week is a bust. The goal was to try and make it like the state track meet where there is two days of competition, but it seems it hasn't drawn the attention wanted. Officials wanted Class B teams as well as out of state teams to compete, but there are only a few Class B teams coming and zero out of state teams. Plus there is only 3 east teams competing. So much for the first annual ND Relays...

his is the first year. It will take time but at least someone is trying to put a Big Time Meet together so we can get a chance to compete against other athletes. I applaud those who are working so hard to get this done, and wish them luck.

it will be fun

[janobilly20]

I agree. It will be a good time and good prep.

yea its a great idea but this year no class a and calass b and there is no out of state teams why is it still a two day meet.....the only reason i can think of is to give athletes a chance to do more events over the exteneded period....distance runners especially

First year will have some issues and always tough to find weekends people dont have traditional meets on. Would be fun to be true "dakotas" and pull up some SD schools as well. Not sure about the decision to do a pre lim and finals in the 300 hurdles but the 3200 finish was one for the books they both ran a excellent race, and the last lap time parish ran was incredible.

Parrish's final lap was a 61.

Not really sure what your saying but 3 coaches i was standing by all had 58.3 to 5 on his last lap and really Id suggest 61 was just great as well, faster than most run a lap in a open 800.

Saturday was great as well didnt think dressler would lose any records in the near future but that was wrong congrats to C Ploof, 1600 finish was again great close and well challenged. I think the event has some nice potential just being earlier in the outdoor season and bringing together some top athletes that may not see each other much during after state indoor. There were a lot of state qualifiers coming out of the weekend making it productive all by itself. Should motivate a lot of people seeing what they have to beat to be the best.
