My son's junior year, at sectionals, he was tripped in the mile and 800...he would have qualified in both events, except for being tripped. Same kid tripped him twice, my son had to be restrained at the finish line...work so hard and have it play out like that, well....it took awhile, but he learned a few lessons from that.

9:44 for the 2 miles is awesome, would probably get you 1st in state 1a, 2a...fastest my son ran it was 9:42 at State his senior year...Congrarts to Griff.

if you get a chance, go watch as much of the State meet that you can....you have to sit in the bleachers, and it gets crowded, sun block is a must, they used t let you bring in coolers....it is a pretty cool day to spend watching some outstanding athelets!
