20:34 Northrop Meet

Jordan ran in a large meet today at Northrop High at the north end of town, not far from where we live. The meet was so big that they did something I hadn't seen before: They split it into two races, the first for just freshmen and sophs, then a second race only for juniors and seniors. This video, which shows the start of Jordan's race, will give you an idea of how big it was. Jordan is all the way at the right side of the screen and, as the runners go by, appears to be one of the last ones.

I didn't get very good pictures today. In fact, this is the only one of Jordan that turned out at all. He finished in 20:34, right about the middle of the pack in 65th place and second for the Blackhawk team. 20:34 is his best so far this year but far from his PR last year of 19:11 and I think both Jordan and I were disappointed that he didn't have a faster time. Still, it was about how he did last year when he ran around 20:40 a couple of times.
