Basically for the 400, if you aren't fast you just have to work ur butt off. Run some mixed long distance (once or twice a week about 5 miles) and run a lot of hard sprints atleast 10 200's stuff to that effect, with little rest. You have to work up your endurance. Also trying running uphills to keep your stride extended. Some people tend to shorten their stride when they get tired (like going up a hill) but if you can condition yourself and practice keeping your stride the same then you do not have a problem with fatigue towards the end of the race, and thats usually where the 400 meters is won, in the last 100 meters.

Does no one remember Jordan Jeffers from Scott High he was the only person to make state in the 100m, 200m, and 400m. He won the 400 and finished 2nd to Anderson in 100m. He has already ran a 52.4 sec. 400m and still gets no respect.

Not to down Jordan or anything, but a 52.4 wouldn't even qualify for state in AAA. He is obviously a very good runner in his region, but the only reason he has a shot at state is that he is in a lower division. Good AAA teams have 4 guys that can run under 52 seconds in the 4x400.

 

 

What were his times in the 100 and 200?

Is Lavergne's 4x800 really as good as what's being said? They ran around an 8:20 last year i believe, and the claim of them being the future state champions would take a big jump even to be in the same race with the likes of a 7:55 or a 7:57 (1st and 2nd in last years state) much less win. Also, with a fourth place finish in last year's regional meet behind Kenwood (an 8:08 that loses two runners), Beech (an 8:08 that also loses 2 runners),and Brentwood (an 8:11 that lost only 1 runner). Has Lavergne really made that big of a jump in only a year? Someone let me know!

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
