The Florida Distance Project is a more in-depth weekly look at the top performances from the past week in the 800m, 1600m, and the 3200m. As we head into the FHSAA State Series, this will be the last segment. Look for a Distance recap following the State meet.
To get a mention in the FDP, you must put up a time that catches our eye and beats a standard. The standards fluctuate throughout the season and drop as we move deeper into the season. We knew with the FSU Relays, Pepsi Florida Relays, and the Bolles Mile Showcase that we would see some outstanding distance performances and that the standards would drop. They were lowered again for this final segment.
This week's standards for the boys were: 1:55.00 (800), 4:20.00 (1600) and 9:20.00 (3200).
This week's standards for the girls were: 2:16.00 (800), 5:10.00 (1600), and 11:10 (3200).
