PRs aplenty at First Meet

Before listing the slew of PRs run by the Agoura High School distance runners during the first track meet of the season, let's first sing happy birthday to newly-minted 18 year-old Harrison Sobel.  Harrison informs me that he will vote Green Party in the next election, presumably to improve the quality of air runners have to breathe in larger volumes than others.  Oh yeah, and Harrison also set a PR on Thursday in the 800M (3:16).

Congratulations are also in order to Derek Johnson who set a school record in the discus (182' 5"), and to Chris Baird who ran a fine double of 4:31 in the 1600M and 9:52 as he cruised to victory in the 3200M as well.

Here were the day's PR's:

1600M

Michelle Kislak -- 5:35, knocking 12 seconds off her best from 2 seasons ago.

Jake Higgins -- 4:56

Katie Klezek --  5:36

Kristen Hessick  -- 5:31

Phoebe Simon -- 5:59

Brandon Severson -- 5:00.5

Adam Brosh -- 4:52

Mitchell Squires -- 6:26

Evan Fehler -- 5:29

Logan Bedell -- 5:54

Sara Kislak -- 5:57

Ben Wolhaupter -- 5:29

Max "Ping Pong" Byer -- 5:37

Aaron "Paisano" Argiso -- 5:38

Perry Casey -- 4:59.91

800M

Adam Brosh -- 2:15

Logan Bedell -- 2:40

Sara Kislak -- Exact time to be determined.

Ben Wolhaupter -- 2:30+

Perry Casey -- 2:13

3200M

Phoebe Simon -- 13:35

Brandon Severson -- 10:40+

I believe Sara McGillwie and Christine Menges also ran PRs, but I'm still trying to determine their times!

Freshman Trevor Hochhaus also entered his first race ever (after having trained only one day), and ran a fine 2:30+ in the 800M.  This "new kid on the block" has some obvious talent!!

Also, Matt Schroeder ran his first 200M and therefore earned a PR of 27.6 (he must have fallen down along the way!), and Ben Wolhaupter entered his first pole vault competition and cleared 8 feet.
