This is a bit belated, but Knappling finished second overall in the Freshman/Sophomore meet last weekend, running the 3200 meter (~2 miles) race in 10:40.
For you non-track fans out there, that means he ran eight laps at an average speed of about 11 mph. I certainly don't want to get into a FTF race with him!

And, he keeps getting faster!
He finished 5th at the High School regional championships, finishing in 10:24, only 22 seconds off the winning time.
Congratulations, Knappling. Hope that time gets you into the State meet.

Congrats to Knappling - He is the East runner - 11th place with a time of:10:28.07 That would put the last lap at just at around 5:08 minute mile pace. So the last lap was the fastest!

[shadow=red,left,300][/shadow] Quite the deal to make it to the state meet and be on the track when history is made!
I look forward to watching you break 10:00 next season.

Thanks for the congratulations!
Track season was a lot of fun and I can't wait to return next year. Hopefully I can take off more time from my 3200 personal record.

. I certainly don't want to get into a FTF race with him! I'll take him on. Cause at that age, he probably doesn't have a driver's license yet. ;D And, how early does he wake up?? I'm warning you Anchorage -- The striped one may be making a couple random appearances up your way soon. Looking forward too some good FTF races if it works out.
