2009 Overnight Relay - Results!

Posted by Mike Davis on Oct 17 2009 at 05:00PM PDT

OMG!!!!  Record setting evening as the 2009 team blasts to a huge record performance of 115.8 miles, easily breaking last years record of 112.6 miles!  Great weather, good food, and lots of games highlight a fantastic experience this year.  The team ran an amazing 6:12 team pace!  Lots of 'all-nighters' pulled, without the aid of energy drinks! 

The Frosh/Soph team were the envy of hungry upperclassmen as they brought an evening's worth of food fit for royalty!  Coach Sharon coordinated a huge spread of food, complete of course, with (assistant coach) Buzz and his famous Izze's!  By the end of the night, the food was being shared with everyone!  The grill was fired up early and often, keeping the hungry runners fed!

This years event was complete with random water balloon 'attacks' from local delinquents.  Fortunately, Coaches Austin and Davis, armed with maglights and knowledge of the area hills, were able to turn back the attackers and keep the event safe and secure!  Coach Austin spent several hours observing the area from secret spots along the Eliminator.  Remember, he's in this for YOU!

Despite a heavy dew in the morning, the team was able to quickly tear down the event and head home for some much needed sleep.  By 8am, you could not tell that the great event had even happened! 

Mile splits were captured by our great volunteer parents, and are shown in the text file below.  Thank you to all the parents who helped out, including the donation of the blinkie lights which made the start/finish line look like an airport runway!

GREAT JOB TEAM!
