2010 Wisconsin Indoor TFA Championships

It's hard to believe how fast the season moves. We took a few Spartans down to Whitewater for the 2010 WITFA meet. There is always great competition at the meet with everyone getting ready for the outdoor season. Ron Covington gained some more premiere sprint experience making it through to the semis, but falling a few hundredths of a second short of making the finals and scoring some points. In the other fast race Lechein Neblett worked through the first couple of rounds and came just short of defending his 2009 55m hurdle title at the WITFA meet. He got beat by a great hurdler, Dexter Schleis of Germantown. It is likely that the 2 will meet again later in the season.
Brandon Lorrig and Andy Greene both lined for the 800m. It was Andy Greene's season opener in the 800m. He looked pretty relaxed and in his element as he set a new PR in the 800m by .35 seconds. Finishing up the lineup was Aaron Heiliger and Josh Peters in the 1600m. Heiliger ran an indoor best and Peters PR'd by a few tenths in his 3rd race of his young career.
