the driller’s isiah griggs is the #2 sophomore in the state as of 05/21/08. he came in second at the valley with a PR of 6′6 and has qualified for the state meet.
what makes his jump even more amazing is that bhs doesnt even have proper high jump facilities. our high jump gear is locked away in a storage bin and when we do bring it out, there isnt a proper place to set it out.
despite this, isiah (with the help of csub’s alex haver) contiunes to improve. one hopes he can make 6′8 at state.

my son christopher’ s first race was the following:
33:56 Jun 6 2006 Handicap Summer Series 5K - #1
and at the liberty frosh/soph invite (less than two years later) he ran 10:45 for 3200 meters.
his splits were 75,81,82,82,83,83,83,81, and 77. he went thru the 1600 in 5:20 which is almost his pr.
he has been training old school, with lots of high mileage weeks. a month ago, he ran a half marathon in 1:26 and he is now training to run a marathon in may.
he hopes to go sub 3.

in may of 2005, christopher graduated from bakersfield college. this may, he plans on running his first marathon:
The Palos Verdes Marathon.
the csub peak run was a start to that goal. after being sick for a couple weeks and going through the rigors of the academic decathlon, i wasnt sure if he run very well. but i i knew that he had a shot at winning the race if the field was the same as it had been in the past.
when we got to the race, i looked around and thought that today was his day and he went out and won the race. the time wasnt fast and the field wasnt deep but a win is a win.
he has never won a race before. gotten second a few times but never a win. so with this boost he begins his marathon training.
to start, i had him run home after the race. so he ended the day with a little over 12 miles.
over the next couple months, he will be following the daniels’ marathon running formula. which is built around two quality workouts a week. he will also be running more local road races like the btc half marathon, the kern river 15 miler and the rio bravo 10 miler.
i hope he will also want to run some track meets this spring because the speedwork will make his marathon pace seem easy.
his main goal is to finish and get as close to 3 hours as he can. to break 3 hours one must run 6:52 miles. according to daniels book his 2 mile PR (vdot 55) predicts he is capable of doing it.
we shall see.
