Here is the evolution of 4x1 times (boys) required to make the finals at the IHSA State Meet since 2009 (entire history of our three-class system).
Enrollments
1A: under 450
2A: 450-1250
3A: over 1250
These are 9th-place times from prelims (9-lane track).
@CoachT_G You need to check out Sr. @gavyncothern2 from Richland County HIgh School. 23' LJ, 6'8' HJ, and just started triple jumping and is in low 40's. He is a multi time all state track athlete as well as a 2 time all state quarterback.
Last season we had some folks calling us “Long Jump County” thanks to two guys named Cothern and Hallam. They practiced every day in a pit that was essentially a pile of sand that flooded and washed away every time it rained. Next spring our kids will be practicing in this. ⚡️
