It was a great night for a beer mile. We had a good crowd show up again. I was one of the last ones to get to the starting line and I was surprised to see that about half the track team was waiting there; it was pretty dark -it got underway at about 10:00 p.m. Kopp was already drunk. Isaac and myself both had a pretty good buzz goin' already from being at graduation parties beforehand. The awesome thing about this race was that there was enough competition that I always had someone to drink and/or run with the entire race. Duke and Carla kept me pounding those beers hard because I had to try to keep up with them. I even got to kick it down at the end to barely beat Isaac. That was his first race in about 4 years and he thought it was pretty cool. Carla crushed the former WIAC women's conference record (19:41) held by Ashley Earney of Stevens Point by 9:54. Surprisingly, no one puked during the race. Final Track Scores:
CC team 21pts. 1st,2nd,6th
Vault team 9pts. 4th,5th,10th
Graduate team 8pts. 3rd,7th,9th
Gen./Alum. team 1pt. 8th,DNF
5 of our graduates not running the race kind of cost the graduate team some points. I'm going to try to get them to run one after nationals.
