Shepherd TF/XC

@RichardLaninga Let’s just say #2 is taken verbatim from someone’s excuse at another meet.

The entry instructions for the @SHSTrackandXC meet next week has me rolling. 😂😆

This is what Midwest summers do for you.

Play our Olympic Track & Field Pick ‘Em! Pick 3 for each event, 5 points for gold, 3 for silver, 1 for bronze! forms.gle/dWSjzXaCwNuHoM…

@CoachBloom1 @MIXCSpeedRtngs @usatf @USATFPrez @usatf_AAC Yep! But for the trials. They appear not to have done that. What if in 28 they contact each state coaches association, do the game for the trials, prize of each state of like 4 people going to LA. Turn the most popular HS sport into your fan base. Helps grow the sport.

Hey @usatf @USATFPrez @usatf_AAC, Last minute we put together a Trials Pick Em game for our team. 32 people paying attention to the trials all week. Imagine some kind of contest run by USATF for schools around the country… for maybe a future upcoming home Olympics/Trials…

MEGASTAR Meet postponed to Thursday!

STILL UNDEFEATED. STILL THE CHAMP. GRANT HOLLOWAY.

Coach Hammel- "I feel like a MHSAA Team State Champion should be a team that would contend to win every Dual Meet, Invite, Conference Final Meet & Regional Meet they attend(assuming competing against similar division opponents)."

@TheRealMerb A 1500 runner wouldn’t spend much time at pole vault so probably wouldn’t hurt their legs all that much.

This is a great question! I think a 3:35 guy would be able to solo like 3:44ish but I’ve no concept of how pole vaulting makes your legs feel

@MIXCSpeedRtngs @Coach_Auer @michtrack @SteveU1961 2018 GT it is I bet

The boys 3200 at Shepherd did not disappoint. Benne Anderson moved to No. 4 all-time in Michigan history with his stunning 8:41.50. He is also No. 4 on the 2023 USA national list! Five under 9:00 ties the Michigan record!

@michtrack @SteveU1961 Kind of what I thought, guessing either last night or one of the Golden Triangles before Covid.

@SHSTrackandXC @SteveU1961 No, that would likely be impossible to conclusively research. But if you just looked up every elite 3200 over the years, you'd probably get the right answer.

@michtrack @SteveU1961 Any idea the most sub 10 in Meet?

@SteveU1961 I think it has happened twice at Farmington.

@CGBatch @natemezmer @myacctwassusp1 There is team scoring in exactly 2 meets a season. This isn't the problem.

@natemezmer @myacctwassusp1 What can be done is eliminate team scoring, since America is pretty much the only place we try to turn this into a team sport, but that would take away the lazy metric that ADs who don't understand track (which is 90+%) use to evaluate coaches.

Most NCAA track athletes are overtrained, over stressed, under nourished, under rested sucks to PR or run fast in February and then be hurt and trying to feel healthy again for the end of the season…

We will be streaming the @mitstrack State Championships this weekend with @MileSplitMI & @milesplit! Stream can be found here: accounts.milesplit.com/live/54649?ref…
