Be honest Did I under perform/chock at Conferences

Please forgive the subject title error It should read choke but auto corrected to chock for some reason lol

There's no way to know based on a few out-of-context workouts whether you're physiologically capable of going faster. That's of secondary importance anyways. If you feel like you could have done better, then something went wrong. That race is one data point, and it's impossible to draw good inferences from one data point. As you accumulate more data points, you can start looking for patterns of things that consistently correlate with races where you do or don't meet your expectations. Don't obsess over it, and don't make big changes. Just keep trying to Win The Day.

I was coming off 3 very strong workouts that indicated what I thought was in shape to score and maybe even win conferences 1k ( at least a 2:36) depending on who ran.

I think you were about where these workouts are. That's a ton of rest for a 200. Not necessarily a bad thing right before conference.

There is only 1600 meters of work there. I'd say middle distance runners should be up to 3200 meters of work (8x400 or 4 x 400,200,200) would be strong, midseason workouts. Rest 2 times the rep (60 seconds for a 200m, 45 seconds for a 150) would be good.
