David Osborn pushed the early pace in Tuesday's Chesterton Sectional as part of his preparation for the state meet on Oct. 31. "The whole point is just to simulate what it's going to be like at state," the Chesterton senior said. "I was able to go out fast and I maintained it as well as I could, staying smooth and comfortable. I kind of dropped off the third K, but I was able to keep it pretty consistent throughout the race." Osborn targeted a time of 3:00 for the first 1,000 meters and he came through the mark in 2:58. "We're just kind of planning out his races, taking bits and pieces of what we think the state meet's going to be like, and implementing them within races from here on out," coach Tim Ray said. "We said, go out hard and see how it feels. We didn't care what everybody else did, we just wanted to try to be at 3 (minutes) for the first K, and getting accustomed to doing that." -- Jim Peters
