How fast will Sarah Baxter run at Arcadia?

10:07

9:47

Under 10 minutes, and then keep going to 5000m, just to get the HS 5k record - if someone can run 33+ minutes for 10k, she can run under 15.40 for 5k.

What is the date and time of the race?

I'll say 10:08

It depends on who all is running.

I'll say 10:17.

7:15 pm on Saturday night. She also has the 4x1600m on tomorrow night. Last year, she ran a 4:54 1600m split, then came back and won the 3200m in 10:14. I say she runs 4:55 and 10:12 this year.

Nobody cares. Really.

Top competition is NXN#3 Katie Knight (ran 10:15.02 last year), a couple 10:20-10:28 girls, and Cami Chapus.

Are all those track times from 2011?

Her top competition will come from Carrie Verdon, who is capable of 10:10, and Katie Knight, also capable of a similar time. I think Baxter will pull away and win in around 10:07. Chapus won't run this race...she'll focus on relays with her team, and if she does an individual race too it'll be the mile.

Tomorrow night will mark the first loss of Baxter's high school career. She has no speed at all, either Knight or Verdon will take her in the last 150 meters.

Any distance results from tonight or just relays.

Baxter just split 4:52 on the anchor leg of the 4x1600. Verdon split 4:59. Chapus is only running the DMR tomorrow.

Only relays, non-seeded field events and the 2 lowest level 3200m races of the meet:

Girls 3200m Rated: Nicki Ghazarian 10:55.83

Girls 3200m Seeded: Adeline Zerrenner 10:44.92

Boys 3200m Rated 1: Riess Haslam 9:23.77

Girls Invitational and Boys Seeded & Invitational heats of the 3200m are tomorrow evening.

Great race in the invitational heat of the boys 4x1600m as well (converted, the top two teams were sub-17:20 for 4xMile with a close finish).

I think there were two marks set this year, but yes the rest were from last year.
