Nathan's next meet was also at Richland High school called the River City Relays. He was again allowed to choose 2 events so he chose the mile and this time the discus. He has barely had any discus training at all, but decided to try it anyway!
He got a PR in the mile! He ran it in 5:24. We think his new distance spikes might have helped knock off 5 seconds!
Line up for the mile. He was in the 2nd of 3 heats and the only Hanford runner in his heat.
Finish line sprint.
Final times.
He was in the 8th heat of 8 for discus. It was 3 hours between when he ran his mile and when he threw the discus. I was a little chilly. Gram and Papa left after the mile when they learned he had a lot of time to wait until the discus. Luckily, one of Nathan's friends showed up so he chatted with him for awhile.
You can see there was no one left since he was in the last heat to throw!
Results from Athletic.net for 1600. 5:24.
