thrower 4x400m

sometimes, as a track coach, you let your athletes do silly things. they wanted to run a 4x100m race, but we said no, as there is a potential of them pulling a muscle trying to sprint. but, should they want to run a 4x400m, we were alright with that. so, as the day wound down, and the 4x400's were coming up, we put together a team that consisted of a decathlete, two throwers, and another guy that is a bit of a guy that we use wherever. here's what ensued:



not to bad. i thought they might run 5:15, and they ran 4:06 (i think that was the final time). nice work fellas.

dude, you have some good throw athletes if they ran a 4:06. good on them.

i was pretty happy the last two guys ran sub 70. they had thrown shot & disc earlier in the day.

official time: 4:10/35.

our "a" team ran 3:17.44.

I was curious what a good time was, I was thinking 3:30.

It was impressive nonetheless.

well, good is relative. but, like i said, our first team ran 3:17.44, and they need to run 3:17.00 to automatically qualify for nationals.
