  1. Thanks for posting Andy. My guys will appreciate it.
    BTW–Your headline says 4×100 instead of 4×400. The 4×100 is not even run indoors.

  2. Got you posted and updated/corrected…

    We have a lot of numbers on the brain here….With Track, Swimming and ETC…..Lots of numbers to account for….

    A total of 1600 meters instead of 400 total…Each kid doing a 400 leg then….I remember being the anchor man for my mile relay team back in the day and that must comparable to what we are listing here….

    Sure would be nice to be able to turn a lap in 53-55 seconds these days and your top guys are probably going in just under 49…..

    Good stuff….

    I still remember the day I hit/turned in a 4:38 total running downhill on West Market Street going from the old YMCA(Now part of Greensboro College) to the Governemental Plaza downtown…That is what the clock man said that Labor Day Monday back in the mid-80’s and I will take that mile/1600 meter time with to my grave, even if the clockkeeper was off…

    I still like that 4:38….

  3. We used to do a mostly downhill timed mile for a workout late in cross country season back in the late 80’s/early 90’s.
    It was a great confidence booster going into either regionals or state.

  4. Yes sir and I still remember the year I beat Mike Wirth from Northeast Guilford in the Mid-South 10K or maybe it was a 5K…I also edged out the #1 female runner of the race that day and she was from Duke and I think she made the Olympic team or somenthing like that….One of my few claims to fame in my Walter Mitty-type sports life….

    I’m lucky if I gat in 30-35 miles a week these days…

  5. I really appreciate Track & Field getting some much needed love. Coach Blue is one of the best in the area. Those guys are something special too, just wish they were still in our conference to make the competition better. Again congrats!

  6. Thanks for the kind words SG supporter.
    Y’all have a track program to be proud of.
    Coach Ratliffe, Coach Hillinbrand, Coach Willis and before she got out of it Coach Lewis-Nelson are/were excellent coaches and great people to work with when Southern hosted meets.

  7. Coach Blue, this is Coach Streeter. Good job on your team. I hope you got some Penn Staters this year.
