A Record-Breaking Track Season

5th Place in the 800m at the Centennial Invite
50 teams and over 50 runners
Tanner's track season was outstanding this year.  The 800m was definitely his race.  Meet after meet he continued to break the school record and set a new personal record.  He also ran in the mile and the 400m occasionally when the team needed points to win the meet.  He also was one leg of the 4x400M relay team.  Unfortunately, Tanners season was cut short due to an injury received while running the 400m in the district meet.  It was heartbreaking to see him pull up half way through the race and finish last, knowing he wouldn't be able to run in his other two events or continue on to the regional or state meet as planned.  He was ranked fifth in the state for the 800m.


His team and coaches recognized his hard work and talent at their end-of-season banquet by honoring him with the "Most Improved" award for breaking a record almost every time he ran.

This season Roman Kirkov (Tanner's running buddy and good friend) spent some time looking at the back of Tanner rather than breaking the wind for him in front.
