IC4A Championships, Day 2 results: 4x800 relay record!

The 2022 track season wrapped up with a bang – one more school record (4x800 relay) and one more medal performance (Glen in the 100 dash) – at IC4As. The relay was Sunday’s highlight. The sun burned through and it was downright hot out there. I sensed our guys were pretty weary from the unusual (for us) warmth but when the gun went off they brought their usual fire. Pech led off with a gutsy 1:54.78, handing off in heavy traffic to TP, who had an off leg (for him) with a 1:54.73. Sween punched the clock with his usually strong 1:54.74, and then it came down to Pax, who battled mano a mano with Manhattan’s anchor leg, running as hard as he could for a 1:52.68 split and a narrow school record of 7:37.26, edging the previous mark from 2017 by just 0.11. Unfortunately, our 4x400 relay didn’t finish due to a hamstring injury on the third leg by Roshan; also, Glen did not race in the 200 because of a tight hamstring. As with most meets, you take the good with the not-to-good. For the balance of the 2022 track seasons – indoors and outdoors – the good has far outweighed the not-so-good, and this weekend was no exception with two school records in relays, an individual bronze medalist and the second- and third-fastest times in school history in a single event. Highly neat. We’re already looking forward to next winter!
