Shymske gets a look at competition from all over the country
BOSTON — Geneva High School senior Donnie Shymske got a look at competition from all over the United States Saturday, as he ran the 800 meters at New Balance Nationals.
He said he ran a 1:58, which got him 10th place in his heat. He said there were 14 heats of sixteen runners each at the massive meet held at New Balance headquarters.
“It was overwhelming,” he said of the amount of competitors participating in the meet.
Shymske is concentrating on track for the first time after years of playing football and basketball before hitting the track in the spring.
It was a weekend of sightseeing as well as running for Shymske. “We drove to Buffalo after practice on Thursday and we flew to Boston on Friday,” he said.
“It has been very cool,” he said of the city of Boston. He said the large winter indoor meets, including last week’s state championship at SPIRE Academy, have provided him with a good base for the outdoor season.
“I know what I’m expecting,” he said of the competition. Shymske is planning to continue his track career at Edinboro University in the fall.
