1. As always, New Balance Nationals Outdoors concluded the year for many of the top athletes in the country, many of which who have seen each other many times before.  In 2015, the meet brought two things

 

2. Records.... (Junior State Record - 5000m)

 

3. And rain....

 

4. And more records.... (New York State Record - 400m Hurdles)

 

5. And even more rain....

 

6. The records wouldn't stop all weekend. (Sophomore National Record - 1500m Racewalk)

 

7. And neither would the athletes

 

8. Some chose to aim for the water.

 

9. While others embraced it.

 

10. But nothing would stop the records from falling (1600 SMR National Record)

 

11.  The competitors ranged from young (8th Grade Winner, 100m Hurdles, 13.08w)

 

12. To even younger (7th Grade DMR anchor, Katelyn Tuohy)

 

13.  However, the veterans were still there, to show how it's done.

 

14. Day or night

 

15. Simply find your focus

 

16. However that may happen

 

17. And the cameras will catch the rest

 

18. They'll see both fierce competitors

 

19. And fast friends

 

20. Simply power towards the finish.

 

21. And push through the line.

 

22. And the victory tape will be yours.

 

23. Whether it be an individual victory

 

24. Or you watch your teammate close the relay win.

 

25.  All eyes are on the prize.

 

26. As well as the competition.

 

27. Both future and past, in the pursuit of records.

 

28. And in pursuit of lasting friendship and respect.

 

29. And as we end our final seasons, coming out of blocks one last time
