It was a special one for our team today. Paul Short is a massive meet with over 7,000 runners competing over the course of the weekend. We knew we had to bring our absolute best and every single runner 1-12 rose to the occasion. Individually a few were disappointed, but they got the job done and I think a little perspective goes a long way if you look back at our first few races. It takes a lot of trust in the plan for them to succeed the way they are right now. Individually, I do need to highlight Carter Smith and Wyatt Kauffman.
For Carter, today was his second real test at this distance/event. The results were incredible, and yet I’m not at all surprised. We agreed yesterday that a fast time would come with just competing out there. He wanted sub 15 but there’s no doubt it ’s only a matter of time. His composure has been unbeatable and he intends to keep it that way.
Wyatt Kauffman on the other hand has surprised me but in the best way. We started the season wanting to break 17 and he just ran 16:14. Like Carter, he has really taken to the longer distance and is just tough as nails. Watching him start to believe he belongs has been really fun.
Our team has a week break before the Mid Penn Championships October 12th.
