Rockwell ran the 4x800 relay at the Caveman Classic Meet. It was Diedrick, Wyatt, Brigham, and Rockwell again. It was an absolutely freezing day with horrible wind. Watching them run against that wind looked miserable, and it honestly looked like they were running slower because of it.
I was shocked when the time was posted and it was actually their fastest time! They ran past me on their way out to do a cool-down, and all four of them were not happy. Rockwell said, "I do not want to talk about it!" as he jogged past. Although it was a PR for them, they were 31 hundredths of a second off from qualifying for State. Being that close and not qualifying was more frustrating for them than being 7 seconds off.
There were about 5 hours between that and his next race, so I took him home to warm up and eat some good food. His other race was the 4x400 relay with Diedrick, Brody, and Aiden.
They were 12 seconds off from qualifying in that, and they felt like they ran well. It was interesting to see that this race didn't bother them at all. They were all happy after that one.
Rockwell ran the 800m at the Tiger Trials and set a new PR with 2:03:18. He wasn't feeling well so he found someone to fill in for him on the 4x400.
They had a JV meet at Timpanogos. They could choose whatever they wanted to run at this one so Rockwell chose the 1600m.
The kids don't take the JV meets seriously, they just have fun at them. Wyatt found a tiny uniform in the shed and ran in that. Haha. There were a few who ran in singlets that they found in the shed too. :)
Rockwell had a great finish time!
I can't believe they missed qualifying by so little, I bet that was very frustrating. I'm amazed that he continues to PR on already amazing times!
