In Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino said “Football is a game of inches”. Well, track is a game of half inches. Of half of half of inches. Of tenths and hundredths of seconds. It is hard to split the margin for error any finer. As races get shorter, the margin for error does, too. At our first meet this year, one of our girls ran the 100m in 13.90 seconds, a PR by 0.38 seconds. That’s a huge improvement, but if she had cut off an additional five hundredths (0.05), she would have finished three places higher!
