Week #28 - Tandem Runner Competed in Elite National New Balance Meet Today

Today, Tandem junior Hayes B ran in the New Balance Nationals Indoor Track Invitational in Boston in the 3200M/2-mile race. Hayes ran against the top high schoolers from across the US in this most elite invitational high school meet in the country. The event was livestreamed on the New Balance Nationals website and many students and faculty gathered in the Blue Room to watch his heat run at 12:19pm during lunch. The crowd assembled neared 40 at its peak. Hayes ran in the first heat (there were 9 heats in the 2-mile event). The entire room was cheering and coach Jason was calling out his times as he completed each of his 16 laps. Hayes finished 7th in his heat with a time of 9:26.72, just one second off of his PR. Way to go, Hayes! We're so proud of you! Click here to watch a couple of videos from the Blue Room viewing. Click here to check out footage on the New Balance Invitational site.
