Districts sprints Evergreen and Trico

[trackrunner2006]

Who do you think will when the 100 and 200 in districts this year?

 

[Xcrunner12]

Colton. Freshman from hockinson is likely favorite at districts.

How fast does the Hockinson kid run the 100 and 200?

 

[Coach Flanagan]

He ran an 11.6 last night and in the high 23's in the 200.

well ya 11.6 and 23.8 arent the best times. but when he lets up 15 meters to go and laughs when he cross's the finish line, you know he can do alot more. try 11.2, 22.9 and 51.8 in the 8th grade.

 

[trackrunner2006]

How about that kid from Hoquiam? He runs pretty fast doesn't he?

 

[show11]

the hock frosh is amazing.

Colton did an 11.1 100, and felt like he could have run faster

Re: Hock Dunn runs 11.8 and 24.3

I understand it was cold, and there was a headwind, and there was no competition, and the starter was bad, and his blocks slipped and etc...etc..etc..

Yes he is fast for a freshman, but don't set him up for a fall. He is an o.k. high school sprinter right now. Don't put undue pressure on the kid. Think how fun it would have been to stay silent and then shock everybody at district with this freshman who came from nowhere. Now anything but a district championship will be an underachievment. Give the kid some time to develop without the undue pressure.

You guys make him out to be a god and his times are very mortal.

Re: Hock Dunn runs 11.8 and 24.3

I appreciate that you are a voice of reason coach. I love the enthusiasm of the Hockinson crowd, but they need to relax and understand it's only the middle of the season. Lots of people will be plenty fast come subs and district.
