Alumnus sets PR in 800

Fully recovered from a year of frustrating injuries, Shawn McKinstry of Hillsdale College ran 1:54.16 to finish second in the GLIAC Conference Championships. More details to follow Monday.

UPDATE: So here we are in Mechanicsburg, PA, getting ready for the MACSA Middle School meet. My daughter Danielle is back from Baylor (I picked her up at the airport on the way here). I am printing out entries for tomorrow, and results from Saturday, and she sees this post about Shawn, and points out that no new details followed on Monday.

So, here is the update, albeit 25 minutes late: Shawn ran 1:57.xx on Friday to qualify for the finals and ran a great race on Saturday. It was very windy, and Shawn tucked in behind people and kicked with 200 to go, passing a few and ending up second with his PR noted above. He was named second team all-conference as a result.

Congratulations Shawn!!
