Have a great week! :thumb:

Great pics and thank you for your time and effort paNDA. Tried tracking you down at the lightning delay and was steered in another direction. Hope to meet you sometime soon. Thanks again! :thumb:

Was told Cov Cath sent mainly JV guys. Was this a JV only meet or did other teams send their varsity?

This was a varsity meet. Not sure why covcath didn't send their varsity. Maybe someone could shed light on that ?

I think some SK's track kids where still on spring break.

CovCath varsity had a meet in Ohio on Wednesday and Friday .

Also heard over the weekend that Jake Erpenbeck broke his 100m record with 10.91s

Congrats to Jake...that could very well be the fastest time in NKY. Safe to draw the conclusion his 2014 state winning time of 10.93 was his prior best.

Cheers to him reaching 10.8 range and motivating other dash participants to improve on their personal bests! :thumb:

Wow. Congrats to Jake!

I am pretty sure all of SK's team was there.

Accoring to KY Milesplit, Jake is currently 3rd. Jeff Teeteh of Boone County (who I don't recall) is first with a 10.84. Jordan Bridgett of Highlands is 2nd with a 10.90. Then Jake.

Alex Venneman is currently just outside the top 10 at 11th with an 11.07.

In the 200 in NKY historically:

Venneman is 1st with the 21.99 he ran at state and Erpenbeck is 2nd with the 22.00 he ran at state.

That's flyin'!
