Went to the Wapakoneta Night Invite today. The girls ran at 8:15 and the boys right after about 8:45. The atmosphere was awesome, electricity in the air (although that may have been from the heat lightning the starter decided to ignore). I knew from the course and the focus of the guys that we would see some fast times, and the kids didn't disappoint.

The girls finally scored a team for the first time all year, 6 whole finishers! I'm still not totally familiar with girls times or paces, so it was difficult during the race to determine how they were doing, but everyone ended up doing very well. Rachel could end up being an amazing runner, I think she can drop another 2-3 minutes this year even though this was a minute PR.

The guys race was super hype. I knew the winner would be sub-17, but I did not expect the race to go out quite this fast. Leaders were at 5 flat, flying. Phillip and Josh came through around 5:25, a little too fast but with the way the adrenaline was flowing through me I know they couldn't help it. So awesome. Josh fell off Phillip a lot in mile 2, we figured a minute from looking at splits later. Chris, Brandon, Joey, and Billy all looked pretty good and ran about the way we wanted them to. For not having much base they're looking pretty good at this point. Phillip finally broke 18, came in at 17:46, so a minute faster than what I ran at his age. Wallace was around 18:43, best time this season by far, and everyone else ran a season best. Looking forward to Northland next week as it's always a fast course.

Ate at Waffle House before heading home. Waffles are awesome.

Mileage is an estimate of my running around, probably not actually this far.
