We started out with a huge win in the 4x800. Bowen and his teammates set a new school record in 8:04. Bowen ran the anchor leg as he got the handoff with a good lead. It was thrilling as the kid in second came barreling down the track like a freight train behind him. He was actually the fastest 800 meter runner in the state coming into the meet. Bowen pulled out all the stops and held him off with a split time that was a PR for him in the 800.
Next up was the 3200 meters. This was after the sun had set, so it was a little cooler. That was nice. Bowen rocked it again and sailed in with the win with a nice lead over the field. With that win, he managed something that Theo never did, get two first place finishes in one state track meet. On day two, Bowen did it again in the 1600 meters. It all seemed a little surreal. He has worked so hard and made such great strides (literally) this year. It is wonderful to see him enjoy it all. 3 STATE TITLES!
