Re: Improving PR's what are your times?

haha yeah...those times would be crazy good for a girl. But I think this person is a guy. They have easier qualifications for the state meet than In Cali. I think anyone can try to go, or something, I'm not really sure.

state qualifiers--not states. its basically like a county meet, not too much tougher to get into than one. the main purpose, though, is to determine who goes to states--the top finisher in each event automatically goes, and the 2nd finisher, if they get under a certain time:
Boys State Meet Qualifying Standards
Long Jump....22'0"
Triple Jump..44'6"
Pole Vault...13'6"
Shot Put.....51'0"
Discus......145'0"
High Jump.....6'5"
Pentathlon...3100pts (IAAF Tables)
100M.........10.7
200M.........22.3
400M.........50.2
800M.......1:57.0
1600M......4:24.0
3200M......9:35.0
110M HH......14.8
400M IH......56.0
3000 Steeple...9:50.0
4x100 Relay.....42.8
4x400 Relay...3:23.0
4x800 Relay...8:03.0
and this person is a guy cuz in new york girls run the 1500, not the 1600.
back to the question: im assuming your county/state qualifier meets are pretty soon? this late in the season, doing hard distance and long intervals probably wont help you much. id stick with short&fast intervals and easy runs. mentally prepare yourself--tell yourself you ARE going to get a pr!
