TIME TRIAL
We had some stellar performances by our cows at this year's time trial! Almost 60 cows came out (20 more than last year) and competed against one another for some fun and bragging rights of course. To start out the evening we had Patrick Fasick finish first in the mile with a time of 4:27.7. And for the ladies, Allie Levin won with an impressive 5:41.8. Next came the 200m where Adam El-Hendy (23.28- 200 m time trial champ two years in a row) and Jordyn Benn (30.64) took the top spots. The 800m race showcased some speedy cows with the champions being Haley Orf (2:27.8) and Tommy Martin (2:00.6). The 4x400 meter relay was an exciting event with the top team finishing in 4:06.
This thrilling time trial would not have been possible if it wasn't for our volunteers that timed the events and helped everything run smoothly. It looks like we are in for a very exciting and speedy season from our cows!
Photos and results can be found here (thank you Joe for helping take pictures).
