Cougars Prepare for "Real" Competition at Dan Gabor Distance, Sprint Festival

With two "time trial" events under their belts, the Cougars spike up for real for the first time this season at Friday's evening affair at Amador Valley High School. The Dan Gabor Distance Festival will feature 70 Campolindo athletes entered in 800m, 1600m and 3200m events.

Races begin at 3:30pm, and continue consecutively into the late evening hours. First up will be the 1600m races, followed by the "two-lap tango," before the night concludes with 3200m competition. All events are conducted in heats of comparable abilities, starting with the slowest entries and progressively becoming faster with each race. Girls' races precede boys' races in each event.

Athletes are encouraged to read the race strategy advice given by former Cougar greats Ross Geiger (09), Nate Cox (09) and Chris Harlan-Dunaway (07) posted to the DISCUSSION BOARD.

In addition to the competition on the track, veteran distance runners will also compete Friday as "coaches." These athletes have been assigned rookies and sprinters to help race plan and coach on race day. The "coach" with the most athletes that meet or exceed their entry marks will win a fabulous apparel prize pack!

For complete details on Friday's Dan Gabor Distance Festival, including "coaching" assignments, check out the team DISCUSSION BOARD!
