@BWestboysTNF @BWestAthletics Sick! Definitely one of the athletes of the meet. Triple crown attempt next year? 👀

[Pierre @773CoachP]

@pntrack Do it 😃

[Pierre @773CoachP]

Reminder! This 3A meet prelims today were 🔥 arguably the top class will get the least amount of recovery for Saturday's final. This can help, dont snooze on this until December, work your emailing fingers this summer. @MSHeartland_ @IllinoisRunNews #BTFSTATE26

As this Friday 2A/3A prelims "projects" to be miserable weather wise (rainy) in Charleston, im still salty we've heard no updates about this since the Advisory Committee discussed. I assume it would've been easy to make happen back in Oct. We have TO GET THIS DONE FOR 2027!

@THS_trackfield Oh? I thought that was closed, no signs of life last week.

The best IHSA State final ls event, these 3 days. Ive been to all the major ones.

[Tony Holler @pntrack]

I’m driving 4 hours this morning to the 3-day IHSA track meet. For the first time in 45 years I will not be in charge of a team.

The picture below is from the 1999 state meet. Dad was 63, I was 40.

Dad always said the state meet was his favorite weekend of the year. He loved track & field, loved my team, and he loved spending time with me. Every race was discussed.

Dad died at age 88. I’m now 67. I will hang out with my sons (age 39 & 33) high in the stands above the finish line, just like 1999.

Circle of life!

Interesting how times change. There are no longer 30-page programs because everything is online. Stop watches are rare due to automated timing. And… no one goes shirtless!

[Pierre @773CoachP]

@pntrack @TrackEHS Start the shirtless trend again, it'll be in the 80s....or will it have to be @hollerhurdles & Quinn? 😅

TTL- Class 2A Boys State Meet preview | IHSA Boys Track & Field State Championships -#BTFState26 https://t.co/XirdgiKjpo

[Pierre @773CoachP]

4x200 (played the wind game) and 4x4s only

[Eric Hisaw @EHisaw]

Anyone beside me ever changed their relay order 3 days before the state track meet 🤣

It’s just me…but, I’ve never been one to find an order and set it in stone if I think it could be faster.

I believe I coach it well enough that I don’t worry about it!!

[Pierre @773CoachP]

For those complaining about flipping the track For these girls 200m, stop it. Fast times at a state meet by athletes > you being mad because you have to walk to other side #GTFSTATE26

[Pierre @773CoachP]

This 3A Girls State Meet will end close to 630p!!!! If you dont like it, voice your concerns and encourage that proposed new schedule to pass (1A +2A on Thursday, 3A on Friday morning). Unfortunately 3A gets the least amount of rest & cant make dinner plans #GTFSTATE26

[Pierre @773CoachP]

Appears some issue occurred, a re run after the 4x4 will happen

[Pierre @773CoachP]
