Jeff runners set record in 4x200 at J-Hawk Relays

Sat - 09 Apr Written by Jim Ecker

Brooke Foreman clipped a hurdle and struggled at the end of her favorite race Saturday afternoon at the 25th Annual J-Hawk Relays, but it hardly mattered.

Foreman smashed a 23-year-old meet record in the 400 meter hurdles and ran the fastest time in the state this year, posting a 1:04.831 at Kingston Stadium.

She knew it was a meet record, but had no idea it was the fastest time in Iowa this spring. "Wow!" she exclaimed when told the news, breaking into a big smile.

Foreman, a junior at Cedar Rapids Washington, has been winning races all spring and was aiming for the record. "My coach was telling me I could get it," she said, but added, "I kind of died at the end."

Foreman clipped the next-to-last hurdle, undoubtedly costing her a few tenths of a second.

"Yeah, because when I land (after hitting a hurdle), I'm completely off-balance," she said. "I have to regain my stride, and it's just hard.

"I've never felt so bad on the last stretch. I just had to give it my all."

Foreman broke the old record of 1:06.1 set in 1988 by Leslie Brown of Iowa City High. It was the oldest meet record on the books, and she shattered it by 1.269 seconds.

Foreman's clocking of 1:04.831 gave her a slight edge on the state leaderboard over Holly Salzbrenner of Mount Vernon, who has submitted a 1:05 effort this spring. The 1:04.831 also topped Foreman's own personal best of 1:04.99, set when she finished fifth in the 400 hurdles at the Class 4A state meet last May.

Foreman accomplished all that Saturday despite a few bobbles, which suggests she can go even this faster this year. "I definitely could," she said. "We'll see where the season takes me."

Foreman set her record on a gorgeous afternoon for track. It was breezy, but the temperatures reached the mid-70s and was the best weather for track this spring.

"By far," she said. "The meets have been cold and windy. Today was perfect."

The Jefferson J-Hawks also broke a meet record in their own Relays, running a swift 1:45.612 in the 4x200 relay with Maliya Rattliffe, Summer Carber, Taylor Jacobson and Rachel Broghammer doing the honors. They snapped the old mark of 1:46.641 set by Cedar Rapids Washington in 2005 by more than a second.

"We feel really good about setting the record. That's exciting," Jefferson Coach Bill Calloway remarked.

"That's the fastest we've ever run this time of year," he said. "Now, what we want to do is carry it to the end (of the season). We've worked really hard all season, harder than we have in quite a while."

Iowa City West captured the team title with 114 points. Cedar Falls finished second with 100 points and Washington was third with 96 in a good three-team race. Linn-Mar placed fourth (50.5), Jefferson fifth (37), Prairie seventh (29.5), Kennedy ninth (14) and and Xavier 10th (12 points) in the 11-team field.

Washington won four individual events with Foreman in the 400 hurdles, Layloni Beard in the 110 hurdles, Megan Muller in the 400 and Jasmine Teague in the high jump. The Warriors also claimed the 4x100 relay with Foreman, Jazz Royster, Alissa Oney and Beard touring the oval in 50.290
seconds.

Amanda Piche won the discus for Linn-Mar with a toss of 124 feet, 7 inches.

Molly Breitbach of Xavier claimed the 200 meter dash in 27.099 seconds.

Jefferson - Girls Track

Jefferson coach is fanatic for fitness

Wed - 23 Mar Written by Jim Ecker

The hardest-working athlete on the Cedar Rapids Jefferson girls track team might be their 64-year-old head coach.

Bill Calloway rides his bicycle 200 to 300 miles per week when the weather is nice, or pedals 90 minutes a day on one of his indoor exercise machines if it's too cold or wet. He'll take an occasional day off to refresh himself, but not many.

"I always tell my kids, if they don't like their workout they can come do mine," he said this week.

Calloway's had six back operations for disc problems and had spinal fusion surgery at the Mayo Clinic in 2003, stemming from an injury he suffered while playing football at the University of Northern Iowa in the late 1960s.

Spinal fusion surgery is often a last resort for people with serious back problems and can be risky, but Calloway said he's benefited from the operation. "I've been basically pain-free for coming up on eight years," he said. "I've been really fortunate."

Calloway believes in physical fitness, as demonstrated by his workout regimen, but also enjoys the work itself. "I kind of enjoy some of the pain involved," he said.
