Thanks to a request by a proud coach we will be bringing back the Record Breaking articles series. These can range between national, state, county, meet, and school records! So to all coaches, when your team breaks a record please send it into rkellert@milesplit.com with any background information you can give. Solid background notes can include splits, how old the record was, a special story or circumstance, even a picture (that we have the rights to use).
This article is aimed for records broken during week three of the 2014 Outdoor Season (April 14th-20th). So we may need to back track to add to the list below. However the future articles in this series will be posted on Mondays or Tuesdays so if you would like to send in the record performances the entry deadline will be Sunday nights!
