Many good performances listed above, as well, as many hitting even splits, at least when comparing the first half of the race to the second half. And some even had negative splits, with a big negative split being recorded in Andrea’s great race! Understand that the “average” track fan doesn’t enjoy watching the distance races... especially the 3200. However, when you follow the race by looking at lap splits, then the race becomes exciting -- especially when the splits stay even, or get faster!!! This is never an easy feat to accomplish!


Congratulations! Our next race isn't until Friday, 4/15 -- Blue Ridge.
