Morris took 2nd in high Jump 6'6. Cody Westbrook won. Morris 5th in long jump with a jump of like 19 something i beleive. Lucas had a really good day, he finally had some competetion in the high jump with some decent weather.
I too would have liked to have heard the results from events given out. Also, maybe the most false starts in one Meet this season.
But there was some great races and fine efforts given by a number of good athletes. The boys pole vault was fun to watch. It was windy and overcast but the young man who won it did a great job. Hope the weather is better there next week.
Baumspage will post the results AS SOON AS THEY ARE RECEIVED. I am one of the two people who runs baumspage and I can assure you that we post absolutely everything that is received ASAP!
Everyone else, Logan is still learning the scoring software (HyTek) and the FinishLynx system, so please be patient with them. From having run many track meets at Nelsonville over the last two years, I know from first-hand experience that having the computer systems add a tremendous amount of simplicity, but also can slow you down at times if something goes wrong or doesn't work the way it's supposed to. I'm sure they will iron out the bugs for next week's district and will do a great job in getting everyone what they need.

I was watching the starts with field glasses yeasterday and I caught two that was called. It seemed like the ones with the best sem. times were jumping the gun.
I can't believe that results weren't being announced or being posted anywhere. I know some league records were broke and it would've been nice for the kids to hear some recognition on the PA. That had nothing to do with HYTEK. Also, just curious.....on the girls 100 finals, I've never seen 2 kids being called with a false start. Did they both move at the same time or what?
Can understand all of the concerns. Did not see a "double" false start - were two athletes DQed in one start? Rookie announcers will improve. HyTek works as well as those understanding the system - there are SO many things to remember that like everything else it takes time. Referee was re-seeding races on his own and no one was being informed in the pressbox; hip numbers that had been assigned were changed in midstream and new hip numbers were assigned before the girls and boys 800's; a disqualification occurred and no one was informed, and, I believe, there was a mistake in the boys 3200.
The HyTek system seeds events and assigns lanes or positions and in the capture of the race finals it reads the assigned numbers from the pictures - when numbers have been changed arbitrarily the entire set up is moot. THUS, not only do operators need to know the system, but officials need to know it as well. When coaches send their statisticians in to ask a lot of questions when a meet is rolling and results are coming in, being read, and results being scored there is LITTLE time to discuss anything. During the district meet the doors to the pressbox will be locked, the referee will communicate with the operator via a walkie and NO races will be re-seeded on the go! AND results will be announced!! Promise!

90buckeye,
Thanks for the response. Baumspage is one of the most informative sites I have found in a long time. I got hooked on it from Wrestling (in which I am a newcomer to following the sport). Keep up the good work.
Congratulations to all participatants. Logan and the community should be proud of their great facilities. Are results going to be forwarded to Baums page?
If by chance there was announcments being made coaches would not have been sending their statisticians to ask all sort of questions. questions like who is leading point wise, or like didnt the 4x800 record get broke . the results were not being read and people asking questions is not the reason for them not being posted or announced. i thought the meet went well other than this. when you have coaches trying to hand score a meet there are going to be questions that only you can answer. Locking the door is NOT the answer. congrats to logan on a great win. and congrats to gaillia girls. i would like to send them a congrats on a 4x800 record if i knew it was broken...
I remember a few years ago they showed a film of a high school race in Florida where they gave the winner to the person that came in second. They didn't change it even when they had their mistake on film.

If I remember right
I'm not sure they can change it. Cameras/video recorders are not allowed on the infield in order to make the officials word absolute. At least that is my understanding of the rule.
