Track Notes
- The innumerable PR’s that were run this week make the MIP choice an almost absurd task. Many fine runners numbered personal bests as many as three or four – often in three or four separate events. However, the five varsity runners who ran the fastest 800 Relays run by the Prep in Eight years deserve mention as MIPs. Seniors Ramseii Campbell and Mike Morales, and Juniors Brian Etheridge, Tom Gilbride, and Carlos Nunez all hit significant PRs in their 200’s to establish themselves among the best sprint teams in the league. Congrats to these and all Prep competitors whose hard work paid dividends in the form of times and medals.
