Did Boardman do 1.5 mile splits again this year? If so, are they available online?
I wasn't there, but I heard from people who were there that it was frosted over in the morning and turned messy as soon as the ground thawed. According to weather.com, Boardman received 1.76 inches of rain on Thursday. The course doesn't handle any traceable amount of water too well, let alone that large of an amount.How muddy was Boardman yesterday? It seemed to be the slowest regional course by a good bit. In general it is slower than the other regional courses but yesterday it seemed to be more so.
If they were taking them, they didn't post them anywhere. I was following the races live, and no intermediate splits were posted. That was true at all 4 regional sites as I followed all of them live.Did Boardman do 1.5 mile splits again this year? If so, are they available online?
We did not run the split point this year with all the mud (we had planned on it). That area was on a slope and we did not feel it would be good for runners to have something else to navigate. The ground was turning very slick in places as soon as we started setting up.Did Boardman do 1.5 mile splits again this year? If so, are they available online?
Agreed. Muddy and definitely affected performances but nowhere near as treacherous as the '06 regional which featured ankle-deep mud and a hailstorm during the girls D2 race and the '08 invitational which trashed the course so severely that the regional was moved to GlenOak on 2 weeks' notice.Walked some of the course before the boys D1 race. Very very soft. Not a mud pit by any means but the course ran extremely slow obviously.
CCC #5 runner has been hurt. Just came back but will depend on fitness level.D3 Boys
1. East Canton #2 has much as things change, sometimes they stay the same. At Spartan CCC had the hornets number. Since then EC 3 and 4 runners have risen to the top. Making the entire team much better.
2. Canton Central Catholic #3 with Scheatzle via with Rupe for the regional championship. This is the Crusaders best squad in a long time.
3. Maplewood #16 seems to be peaking at just the right time. They beat crosstown rival McDonald at the Madison District.
4. McDonald #11 led by yet another Rupe and a lot of other recognizable last names I don’t remember the last time they didn’t make it to the big dance.
5. The other three contenders Elyria Catholic, Dalton and South Range all have a few holes to fill in their lineups .
As coaches, what do you do? do you make sure that enough kids stay away from everyone else so that even if you have a case or two, you can at least take 5-7 kids to the state meet?Any teams having issues with Covid heading into State? With this increase you would think it has to hit somewhere. Would really suck if it did this week.
If that is the case, then Chardon isn't the only ones. A school near me has its football players reporting to their locker room for school each day, and the players have emailed their teachers to inform them that they will not be attending regular class until after the season ends and to ask the teachers to email them their assignments.So Chardon values high school athletes above an honor student? A special ed student? Those with potential compromised physical conditions against the virus? The band?
I am just playing the devil's advocate of what many Chardon parents must be thinking if this is true.
In the case I've cited, I don't know who came up with the idea. There is some "he said, she said" regarding who originated it and who approved it. The football coach at this school is a maverick and can do no wrong in many peoples' eyes based on his teams' recent track record.Yet we try to impress how academics are paramount.

They were until about an hour ago.Mr Slippery is that team still in the playoffs?
Meanwhile out in the township at NDCL...I'm sure Chardon parents are just happy when their kids come home from a school day safe and sound. Maybe someday they will worry about fair and unfair.
Right, I'm sure they would have liked to have bubbled the last week.Meanwhile out in the township at NDCL...
Huge bummer for that team that did a fantastic job to extend their state meet streak this year in what seemed like a clear rebuilding year for that program.
