Indoor track season continues

LAWRENCE — Vince DeGrado has some tired athletes on his hands.
Running in their third meet in three weeks, Allen Community College’s indoor track team has reached the point of the season where tired legs are common, noted DeGrado, the team’s coach.
“That is kind of expected this time of year with where our training is going.”
The squad took part in the 2013 Jayhawk Classic Friday at the University of Kansas.
Among the highlights:
Bruce Barclay broke his own school record in the 60-meter hurdles and qualified for nationals with his sixth-place finish at 8.28 seconds.
Tegan Michael, hobbled by injuries this winter, also qualified for nationals in the 1000-meter run, finishing in seventh at 2 minutes, 36.92 seconds.
Tucker Morgan also qualified for nationals in the 1000m by finishing fourth in his second at 2:39.15. He also ran the 800-meter leg of the distance medley relay, DeGrado noted.
Terika Henry broke a school record in the 200-meter dash on the women’s side, finishing eighth at 25.93 seconds.
“A lot of our athletes ran in events they don’t normally train for,” DeGrado said. “But we wanted to get some work done this week.”
Allen ran against a mixture of Division I, Division II, NAIA and other junior colleges, DeGrado noted. “This gave our kids a chance to compete against a wide range of athletes and divisions.”
The squad travels to Joplin this weekend for the Missouri Southern Invitational.
“I’d like to get some more national qualifying standards in,” DeGrado said.
