Mountain Ridge girls 4x800 relay 3rd place in 10:00.
Ian MacFawn 2nd in 3200 running a sick 9:30 (unofficial). David Wilson of Smithsburg for the win in 9:25. I'm looking for the final results to see how Luke Smith did.

Wow! More than impressive!
After watching the 1A West Region 1600 and learning later that night Ian ran sub-2 in the 800 I'm not surprised he won the state championship in the 1600. However, I was thinking it would be won in the low to mid 4:20s. I thought the 3200 ran in the extreme heat on Thursday would have zapped the field a bit - man, was I wrong! It is my understanding there were four in a tight race with 100 to go, and Ian pulled away over the last 50 meters.
I witnessed what Jordan did at the 2003 state meet, and, honestly, thought his performance was the best performance in the history of T&F in Allegany County. At that time, I never imagined a student-athlete from the same school would run a better time in the 3200 and similar times in the 1600 and 800 during my lifetime let alone 7 years after the fact. And to think - Ian has one more year!
Congrats to Ian and best wishes for another superb race in the 800 later today!

I believe 2:01 in the 800 for fourth place. A great meet all around for Ian! He just got beat by some much fresher athletes.

That was awesome, thanks for the video link. I was at a wedding in Pittsburgh yesterday and got the call from Ian (senior) during the reception and started going crazy telling everybody about the race and the time he ran. It was a wedding of an old cross-country friend of mine, and sitting there with me and a couple of other runners was our old coach, Mark Swiger, who ran for Bethany back in the late 70s/early 80s. His college coach was...Dave Wottle; he made the reference to a Wottle-like finish as well.
