The Bruins won by about 20 in a very ugly game. Cant remember the final score it was something like 90 to 70. It should be up in a few minutes on the Rieherds scoreboard

Middle school and some open /masters events earlier in the day.

As much as it hurts some to say, Brandon Bender does belong on that starting five of Allan Houston, Jeff Lamp, Jerry Eaves and DeJuan Wheat. Reserves include Lee Raker, Mark Bell, Al Miller, Don Jackson to name a select few.

Ill be there as a spectator, coach and on Friday..meet director

Actually Kingsbury lost some players after their first game because of an altercation they had. The lone win they had was that first game which ended after one half. Im not sure how many or how important they were but it had to hurt. From looking at boxscores at least two from that first game are missing.

Here are some pictures from the Class 3A races.(best viewed using the slideshow option) Congratulations to Trinity and Manual for great performances at the meet.:thumb: http://MKO1.photosite.com/2006StateXC/

The Ballard / Eastern game will resume Saturday at 2PM at Ballard HS. Ballard is leading 21-19 with 4 minutes left in the first half

The AMA and a lot of coaches believe that its not in a younger athletes best interest to compete and train at the high school level. Cross Country has one of the highest injury rate among HS sports. I personally dont think its wise to have kids that young being with HS age kids as well.I think the rule is long overdue. it does allow for younger kids to continue competing for their HS team if they ran on the Regional Track or Cross Country team last season. ( grandfather clause)

:confused: X could have put it away with the 3200 run. Scott McClain finished 3rd but Long the #1 seed in the event failed to score.Im curious as to what happened to him since he was out of it from the begginng

Dunbar didnt look like a favorite last year either. but they came prepared to race and put on a show. i wouldnt move them or Assumption to a lower tier yet . Especially with Dunbar being at home. After its all said and done though im picking Owensboro to take the crown. If you come to the AAA meet check out Chelsea Brown from Butler who will put her team in contention with a possible 40 points at the meet. She is top ranked in 4 events 100,200,400, and 300 H. On the boys side the quality of Trinity's sprinters looks like the edge theyll need to repeat. Orndorf isnt 100% ,but no one still seems able to beat him. I think both AAA races will be very close. I do however hope to see the boys Class A division which is supposed to be a battle between Ft Campbell and Bardstown !!:fight:

All results except the No.Ky 3A regional are on www.khsaa.org. they are on the Track page under 2006 regional /state results

Id also bet that the Trinity Jumper does some work on their new turf football field. They have it so it makes sense to use it. Trinity doesnt have a Track facility so he has to do his HJ work somewhere

No Javelins at the high school level. They did however score it in the Middle school state meet yesterday.

They do contest that event in Jr. Olympics, AAU and USATF. not many state have it on their High school schedule though. Check the ktccca web page for the dates of the JO State meets in June.

I had some kids do it in those same meets. It isnt in a lot of states and its only done as an exhibition event in those meets. Not enough facilities to have it in most places.

Im feelin you on this one.! Dunbar is a great high school facility but I think someone should have looked at one of the other College tracks, WKU or UL. i dont think the argument about throwing facilities is a good one. Im sure everyone is going to make the best of the decision(including trying to defeat the defending State Champs on their own track) But im not looking forward to jumping (TJ, LJ or HJ) at this venue. I think they could have done better with a little thought.

Most things in KY HS Track can be found here http://www.ktccca.org/ Results, Meets ,All State Teams and archived information. If a meet director doesnt turn in his results though you may not find them on the page.

I hope to be there.... :confused: I wont know till Monday evening though:madman:

Thought id check to see what happened in the Single HS meet .Here is what I found. Coaches were asked to submit times from Outdoor meets corresponding to the event. ie 100M times for 55M dash. if coaches entered 55 or 60 M times they were asked to change to an outdoor time or receive a NT on their entry. here is the performance list from Class A. 55M dash. All the indoor times had to be changed or given no time. the reason being that not everyone has an indoor time and most coaches dont understand times for indoor ie the 5.00 time on the list. Indoor sprint races are also varied (50M,55M,60M) Its unfortunate but coaches very seldom make that mistake twice.

we are working on a new format for next year, but I dont think limiting the athletes will be part of it. The Masters meet drew more than expected and The middle school meet hit record numbers. We are definitly experiencing growing pains, but as a coach in the State thats a good thing. The open and master athletes did express that running earlier in the day is an option for them. we have a lot to consider and I welcome any ideas to make the event better. Being a Track Fanatic though we will probably give everyone who wants the chance to run on the boards that opportunity. As for the HS meet if an athlete ran in the last heat he either had a bad seed time or none at all. My guess is they didnt send in a time.

It was a compound fracture ,but I havnt heard anything about how he's doing now. After seeing the reactions of the people who attended to him on the floor i didnt even want to look at the video of what happened. (I filmed it) Hopefuly he'll recover and be able to continue in athletics or whatever he chooses to do in the future.

Ill be there saturday night as a coach and friday night as meet Director. it looks like its going to be a great meet as entries are still coming in way past the deadline. i love the meet but im glad when its over

I heard there would be a blind draw and there is a possibility Eastern and JTown could draw each other in the first round of the districts..............which means there is a possibility someone could be going home for good after the Districts. Anyone else know how this works?

no this was an unscored early season meet. Almost like a practice meet. still a lot of great times for January ! :scared:
