My daughter qualified for the the HS conference championships in the 800 and asked for advice on how to race the final. Her coach does not give much race strategy advice.
So I'm turning to LR for some help.
The particulars: There are three other girls with similar times (low 2:20's) all with similar kicks but my daughter is a bit faster. All season long, however, she has led wire to wire but in the prelims one of the girls sat on her shoulder and passed her at the 120 meter mark. She, admittedly, did not respond because the goal was to qualify but she was beaten nonetheless.
She thinks I know this sort of stuff and asked me how she should run the final. Go all out as she has done all season or sit and kick,
Thanks in advance.
