Comments:
Raced at Oberlin today, the 400 then the 200. I did a standing start for the 400 because I'm just not that confident out of blocks. There was a really nasty headwind for the last 150m or so and I felt awful trying to maintain control up the home straight. Very slow time but I won the heat which was kind of cool. Results officially show I tied a kid but he didn't run, it was just me, the Oberlin guy, and the kid from Daemen.

The wind was bad enough that they decided to switch directions for the 200. I was already spiked up by the time they did but I spent what felt like the next hour waiting for the timing and everything to be set up. Eventually they got us ready. Wound up in a combined heat with the faster one before us. Those guys helped me keep pulling all the way through the line. Got a new PR by over seven tenths in 24.90 so that was fun!
