The times on the boys side were 4 seconds fast because I messed up on the stopwatch. The course is eerily similar to Hereford. Notice how Bowser ran 17:09 at Bullrun and 17:09 last night. Carney ran 17:28 at Bull Run and 17:29 last night. Dan ran 17:15 on a slightly different course at PG park and then ended up running 17:14 at Hereford at the state meet. The course record is now Bowser's - it was a fantastic run!

I Looking back in my memory, I thought that was the course Jordan and Woody had a great race on where one or both broke 17:00.

Justin, you are correct in your thinking. That course was run when Jordan and Woody were seniors. If I'm not mistaken, Woody ran 16:58 and Jordan was 10 seconds back. That course was only run one time and is totally different than the course now. It had a lot of flat sections as it started and ended around the lower baseball and soccer field. The course now has a lot more up and down with long uphill stretches and very steep decents. The course that Beall hosted WMIL on when Dan was a senior is very similar to the course now if not a little harder, but it is close enought that I would say that Dan's record carried over to the new course - that is until last night!

Ah, I see. That must've been a great run for him then. It should be great to see his improvement here going into prime race season.
I agree with Mertz, it looked like a great team race too. It's been a while since we've had close races for team championships in the area.

JT was still fighting until about 2.5 miles, but when they reached the long downhill stretch towards the finish, Bowser took over and left him behind. Observing from the top of the hill, Ryan seemed to be taking 2 strides for every one of JT's. A very strong race. Personally I was more interested in the team race, but Beall was too much for us that day. I'm looking forward to county for another hotly contested meet.
