Distance Medley
Delray Beach Atlantic wins Distance Medley Relay vs. Webb/South Lake in 9:57, third best time in the event EVER! Four seconds from a national record! In an amazing showing of stamina John and Sean come off of 4:05 and 4:07 miles earlier in the evening to run splits of 4:06 and 3:03! Schappert also came through big coming off the invitational mile to go 1:55. Preston took the 400 split to a sweet 50.4.
John recieved the stick with a ten second lead over South Lake. Webb took the baton and came back to split 4:00 after his 4:01 earlier in the evening but it was not enough as John seemed to cruise to a 4:06 for the victory!! South Lake finished in 10:03.
