Final Meet of the Season
Concordia University, River Forest
I don't have any stats yet, but will update the site as soon as I get them. However, I do know that our school did very well and we earned a good amount of points as a team. It was a beautiful "summer" day, but a lot hotter than most of the students were used to running in, I'm sure (especially compared to last weekend's events at State!). Hopefully everyone remembered their sunscreen today. :-)
Great effort, everyone! Enjoy the pics below.

| Can't you just FEEL the heat coming out of those sun-baked bleachers??? |
Sorry, but the camera-person didn't arrive at the meet until after the 100 meter preliminaries & the beginning of the hurdles, so the first of the action shots begins with the last person who ran hurdles today.

(Another apology: Shot Put was the only field event I was able to
photograph today.)

| Our runner who made it into the 100 meter finals. Great job!!! |
Our second and fourth places finishers in the 800 meter run.
Eventually we figured out there was space below the bleachers away from the hot sun!
Time for the 200 meter finals:
Then last, but not least, the 4 x 100 meter relay:

Great job, everyone! As always, it was fun to watch you all perform. Keep up the good work.
Have a blessed summer!!!
