Tyler Karnes

Who are the top times for the new horse park course run at the state championships ALL TIME?

I'm sure it's no secret to those reading this that this weekend is the Kentucky State Track Meet (but seriously, if you didn't know that, click that back button and check out all the great coverage that's been posted!). For some of you, it may be a chance to capture a State Championship. Your dreams from January are finally coming to fruition and you are nervously anticipating the moment the gun goes off!

I was standing on the fence looking out at the last track I would view from the perspective of a high school athlete when the thought hit me, "I was surrounded." Now, you probably thought I was going to say something generic like "it was over" or "I wish I could do it all again", but to be completely honest, that was of secondary importance. 

Tyler Karnes is a senior at Christian Academy in Louisville.  He finished 9th at the Harry Greschel Invitational in the 5000 Meter Run with a 17:36 on April 15th.  In the article below he writes about the difference running a 5K on the track and on the cross country course.
