24 Hour Run-a-thon - Running with Scissors Edition

The Pumas handled the heat fairly well, thanks to a lot of support from parents and friends.  We set an all-time runathon record of 1002 laps (that would be 250.5 miles).   To get a sense for distance, 250 miles just about covers the entire trip between Santa Rosa and San Luis Obispo, for those of you who may have completed that drive recently.

The sophomores threw in some extremely high mileage sessions with their # x 200m relay attack strategy.  We got some welcomed help from Reesey and Kurt (give it up for the Panther assist!) A late night visit from "the streak" kept everyone loose and on their toes.  The average lap time over the 24 hours was 86 seconds.

One enduring image for me was Michael "Macabre" Titone hoisting our giant (plastic) scissors in javelin fashion as he trucked around the track. 

So far we've collected about $1600 in cash and checks - please continue to collect and turn in your money this week at practice.
