Kentucky NBIN Day Two/Three Recap: Tretez 1:57, Buckles in the Multis; Assumption 22:24 4xMile

Kentucky New Balance Nationals Day Two/Three Action

 

Day One Recap

The second day of New Balance Indoor Nationals brought saw one Kentucky relay in action and a rare (for Kentucky at least) multi’s athlete.  The third brought us a sophomore looking to gain some national experience.

 

-          Grayson County senior Daniel Buckles made the trip to New York to compete in the Pentathlon.  Normally, a jack of all trade for Grayson County competing in the hurdles, jumps, and throws, the pentathlon makes perfect sense.  He ended up placing 20th overall with a score of 3096 points.  In the five events he had marks of 9.29 in the 60 Meter Hurdles, 19-10.75 for the Long Jump, 43-01 in the Shot Put, 5-08 in the High Jump, and 3:10.05 for the 1000 Meter Run.  His time in the 60 Meter Hurdles was a new career best.  The event winner Gunnar Nixon broke the national record for the event indoors.

 

-          The ladies of Assumption were back in action after a 9:49 4x800m Relay on Friday, this time competing in the 4xMile Relay.  Katherine Receveur, Emily Bean, and Caroline McCaslin were three of the four on the squad.  They ran a 22:24.95 which is a 5:36 average per runner.

 

 

-          Butler sophomore Tretez Kinnaird ran with the big dogs in the 800m Run.  Fresh off his victory and meet record at the Mason-Dixon Games last week he finished 29th overall with a 1:57.20.  He was the top sophomore overall in the 800m Run.
