Raleigh Relays: Wrapping it up

We are on the bus now for our long ride back home after two days at the Raleigh Relays. Here’s hoping our trip home goes much more quickly than our trip down. While I’m loathe to make excuses, our 17-hour excursion on Thursday (6 a.m. to 11 p.m.) probably had an impact on our performances at the meet on Friday. It’s also important to note that with the cancellation of Monmouth last week, this was our first meet of the outdoor track season (although, in fairness, most athletes competing this weekend probably weren’t slated to race at Monmouth). Regardless, it’s great to get our team and our program some exposure at a big meet like this, but it’s also a bummer to travel this far and not achieve many of our stated goals. But alas, we have the remainder of the season in front of us, with some excellent meets stacked up one right after the other. The outdoor track season goes by in a blur. We’ll get back to work next week, and back on another bus in a few days for yet another trip south (Colonial Relays, next Thursday/Friday/Saturday). We had positive down here: Debbie Boerke and Danisha Craig had great meets, and several women had personal-best times or splits. Speaking of splits, complete (official) splits are listed here with the composite results.
