Not Even Close

On Saturday afternoon, February 9, Dalton Kuhar (Scottsville, VA) took another step down a long road toward setting her 2 mile PR closer to what she is capable of running.  Dalton ran the Virginia Independent School Championship at St. Christopher’s High School in Richmond.  In the afternoon seeded section, Dalton went out at 5:58 through the mile looking comfortable.  She was running alone as the field had strung out ahead and behind her.  Through the next few laps, it appeared that Dalton lost concentration slightly.  When a competitor threatened to pass her, she shifted gears and got back on pace, but slipped off pace again for a brief period.  With the finish line in sight, Dalton took off, recording a 40 second final lap of the race, indicating that once again she had a tremendous amount left and was capable of much more.  Her time of 12:21:65 was a PR by 36 seconds.  Dalton was elated with such a fast time, but afterward stated “I can go faster”.  Darned right you can, Dalton.  Keep up the good work.
