Running with Robbins: 2011

2011 Footllocker South Regionals Freshman Class Championship

168 of the fastest freshmen in sixteen states lined up on November 26th in Charlotte, North Carolina to run one of the most competitive High school races in the nation. Our family got there the day before, so that I'd have time to run the course before race day. It was a very pretty course. The spectators can watch the final stretch of the race across a beautiful lake. This will be a race to remember. I lined up on the second row of runners. The gun sounded, and I went into a fast sprint, until I caught up with the leaders. Wile in eighth place, I hung on to run a 5:06 first mile. I tried to keep up, but after I hit the first hill and came out of the woods, the rest of the runners started to catch up to me. I ended with a personal record of 17:01 and came in 22nd overall. The winner, Kurt Convey from Florida, ran a 16:20. Not a bad race at all. For the complete results visit Footlocker South Regional Freshman Boys Footlocker South Regional Freshman Boys Results

FSU Invitational

I ran a PR of 17:17! This course was a really fast one. It was made up entirely of downhill slopes, with only one, worth mentioning, rising uphill about 400 meters from the finish. My family and grandparents came down to cheer me on as I ran, and I ended up with the fastest race I've run this year (for now). Enjoy the pictures!

September 11 Remembrance run

If there's one race we will remember this season, it'll be this one. It was hosted by Southland Academy on September tenth in Americus, Georgia in remembrance of those who lost their lives on september eleventh, 2001. There was a big turnout of some our region's best Private schools. Teams like the 2010 GISA AAA State Champions Mount de Sales, and third place GISA AAA Champions Tiftarea were there, along with Westwood, Westfield, Deerfield Windsor, Sherwoood Christian, and more. I won this race by nine seconds with a time of 17:49. Alex Carico came in eighth with a time of 19:23 for the Varsity boys. Our team came in third overall. Mary Alice Smoot from Valwood won the High school girl's race with a time of 20:57, and our girls placed sixth overall. Will Carico ran a 9:44.60 for the 2500 meter run, but lost by 4 tenths of a second to Billy Calcutt just as they were finishing through the shoot. Truman Wright also came in ninth overall with a time of 10:36.

Brookwood school's Cross-Country team ran our first official race on Tuesday, September 6th, in Americus, at Southland Academy. Both the Middle School and Varsity Boy teams ended up claiming second, and both the JV and Varsity girls claimed third.

I won the race with a time of 17:44 (four seconds away from a PR) along with Alex Carico and Daniel Fortner who also finished in the top ten. Leigh Stauffer finished fourth overall, along with Hunter Avera in the top ten. Will Carico tied for second place with Billy, Noah placed fourth, and Preston turned in a ninth place finish for the JV boys. Julia Hilson and Honey Balfour finished 7th and 8th overall for the JV girls. Coach Grant Stauffer told us that we put on a pretty impressive performance for our first meet of the season, but I think that we're just getting started.
