Ethan Sanchez finishes the season as one of the best in Forsyth County after his 1st year in a new training program and 99.9% of runs SOLO! Less miles, less workouts, less races BUT a whole lot of work most don’t want to do!

SR Jacob Bangham spent his entire JR year tearing down a 1:59.44 SO talent, placing strength and health as the top priorities! Off of 2-3miles per week actual running he split a 2:03.9 at the Regional Championship for his best performance of the year! The Tear Down is complete and the ReBuild has begun!!

Now SR Ethan Sanchez looking for a new PR in the Mile tonight in Concord!

Now SO Keenen King looking to lower his 400 tonight in Concord!

[East Forsyth Distance @EastDistance]

Great start. Settled and waited for others to help do some work. Respected and covered a move by 4:12 Palmer before moving past to break at 600. Held off Palmer at bell lap and surged to extend lead with 350 to go! Knew 4:07 Anderson was sitting and kicking. Hoped he would get boxed in like he did in the 800, but he got by Ethan and he didn’t have enough to hold off 4:17 Gray, who he beat a week before!

This upcoming year is going to be a tough year to race Ethan Sanchez!
