So I'm planning on doing a few more of the dream races here on the blog. If you're wondering what that is, it's a relay where PA teams can compete using any runner that ran for their squad in a set period of time. The last time I did this was probably back around 2010 or so and so I used 2007 to 2010 (my high school years) but now is a new era so I'm thinking class of 2011 and beyond for this round of races. There is going to be a 4x8, DMR and 4x16. If you want your team to be invoked comment below on this post to tell me why!
To give you an idea of what exactly I mean, in this post 2011 time zone Upper Dublin's 4x8 squad would be something like Pete Schartel class of 2011, Francis Ferruzzi class of 2013, Andy Stewart class of 2015 and Jae Kim class of 2014. So there are a bunch of guys combined together from their prime in high school who would run on this team together. Then, based on my own opinions, I predict how fast everyone runs and how fast the team runs overall.
You can look back at my old blog for details if you want but you will have to go back a few years.
Any questions let me know and get some teams up there on the list!
La Salle 2013 4x8: Magee '13, Stone '13, Bilotta '14, Coyle '13
ReplyDeleteYou killed Carlisle with the 2011 rule. Not even worth making up their teams. If you included 2009 and up it would, but oops.
ReplyDeleteCV 4x8: Kunzweiler, Flynn, Hartzel, Coburn, Soliman (Not sure if Hartzel or Soliman had the faster PR)
DMR: Same runners
4xMile: Same runners, not Soliman
Hershey 4x8: Brodeur, De Willie, Bekelja,Sponaugle
Haha if it makes you feel any better I also killed upper Dublin with that rule ... We lost a 1:51, 1:52, 1:53 haha but hey gotta keep things relevant for the new young fans
DeleteIf I'm going to be completely honest, I don't think Red Lion would have been super competitive in the DMR or 4x8, but I do think their 4xmile could have been half decent. Take Matt Croft (2012), Caleb Gatchell (2013), Josh Pardoe (2013), and Ethan Gatchell (2014) and you have a 4:30, 4:26, 4:28, and 4:26 respectively. No, it's not great, but it is under 18, which I would consider to be pretty decent. Maybe I'm wrong though.
