12:22 in a 2 mile race don't sound very fast until you consider it was my 8th grade son's 1st track meet of the year. Him and 3 other kids in the race and he lapped all of them Once and one of them twice. One of the greatest birthday presents he could have gave me. Not to mention 1st in the 1/2 mile by almost 1/2 a lap. To bad it started raining, would'a loved to see his 1 mile race. One proud daddy here for sure!
I used to run the 2 mile. Thats a darn good time for an 8th grader early in the season. tell him congrats!
Keep on keepin on, thats some good timing
yeah thats a good timing for 8 graders. my sophmore year i ran 5.13 a mile and i could imagine the time he run for a mile would be a solid 5 minute right now

He's badass ducky, he had alot of people talking. The last 1/3 of a lap he sprints. I'm so proud, and on my B-Day. What a gift!
++peaceHappy birthday slick, tell mike concrats keep up the speed
He found out today that he beat the Genesee school record for 8th graders. His official time was 12:18 Can't wait to watch him Monday at Bendle,
We went to Bendle yesterday and he broke the record again in the 2 mile. Brought it down to 12:10 applaudd Also got 2nd in the mile and 3rd in the 1/2 mile. And they won the meet against Bendle, Hamady, and Montrose.
2 meets 2 records Headed to Dryden tomarrow.
applaudd applaudd applaudd right on tell him to keep up the good work
==thumbsup for Mikey applaudd
u must be proud daddy
He's doing awesome! Keep encouraging him! By the way it was nice to meet you Saturday.
if he keeps up those times he will be needing a new pair of shoes cause he is burning them up
Thanks for all the encouragement, its all fuel to his fire. He's only about a minute off the Varsity record which is held by the same guy. His goal for now is to not lose a 2 mile race this season, long term goal is to beat the Varsity record, and get a scholarship to college. Yup, I'm proud. ==rocks
Rained out today. Next meet is Monday at home.

Headed out in a bit for his 3rd meet, hoping he breaks it again.
MAN THAT KIDS FAST
No new record yesterday, but he dominated the 2 mile. Took 3rd in the 1 mile, and 5th in the 1/2 mile. Him and his coach agreed that the rest of the season he will not be running the 1/2 mile race which in right before the 1 mile. Should make his 1 mile times a lot better.

Yeah those 3 are a suicide combo, I ran the 3200m relay the mile an the 2 mile, that seemed to spread them out better.
No new records today but my son dominated the 1 mile race and the two mile. He even lapped one kid by 3 laps in the 2 mile, and his twine sister took 2nd in the 1/2 mile. I'm a proud daddy today.
