Shelby County’s All - Comers—4/1/2008
The day showed promise but as the sun went down, so did the temperature. The meet had the ingredients for some great competition, depending on what coaches really wanted to throw out there. With most teams keeping their stars under wraps, or running in events that they either were just trying or just doing, the competition was well worth standing in the cold to see.
Girls:
Once again the Ballard girls showed their dominance in early season form. Teams across the state better watch out, these girls are fast, deep, and determined.
Boys:
On the boy’s side, Trinity showed their talent and depth in all events, with some of the better runners just taking it easy or running only one event.
Schardo’s early season report;
Ballard is in great form, period.
Trinity has state talent at every event.
Jazzmin Jeter: 400(1:02), LJ (16-02) at this point the girl is on fire.
Shelby Wagenseller: 800(2:36) Girls beware, if she ever figures out this event, her speed
Kills.

Really go.
Stacey Eden and Grant Curran: 800, Showed great pacing and the ability to turn a
Comfortable pace into a great race, both run negative splits in the 800.
Stacey Eden: two-milers beware, this boy may be small but his last 800m is going
To make his challenger’s lungs burn.
Keith Albrektson and Jacob Law: Dualed each other to 4:41’s in the mile.
Field events: I just hope for your sake, there will be a meet where the wind is not gusting
Straight at you.
Closing note, it is Spring Break time, so next report will tell if athletes let rust creep in or stayed focused and actually made their coaches happy and stayed at home to train. Great meet Shelby Co. and to all the coaches, officials, and parents, great work. Frank, you to.
