Meet of Champions - Ruffner Lowers Record

Grayson Ruffner's goal is to own all three indoor distance school records. On Saturday he took 8 seconds off the 3000 record he set in December (8:52.83 down to 8:44.73). This weekend at the Indoor State Championships he'll go for the 800. His 1:55.45 is just .51 sec off Hong Cho's 1:54.94 from 2011. In a few weeks, he'll shoot for Nick Crits' Mile record (4:17.07) at Indoor Nationals. He's run 4:17.59 so far. Again, about half a second to go. Both should go down.

Along with Ruffner, other individuals competing at the State Meet are Dom Sheppard at 200 meters and Jaylen Foster at 60. Last year Jay finished 7th and owns the school record at 6.95. 

The 4x200 relay (Sheppard, West, Ford, Wescott) dropped out of the top 20 two weeks ago but managed to claw their way back this past Saturday at the Meet of Champs. Their 4th place finish knocked 1 full second off their previous best shooting them from #27 up to #14 and into States.
