The Peter and Molly Mile Challenge was held on Wednesday, April 14th, at lunchtime. The race was a success because it enabled many students to beat their own record times at the mile and it gave BPC new overall record times: Molly has the girls' record at 7:19, Zack has the boys' record at 6:01.
Everyone who participated did excellent work and the spectators found it inspiring to watch all of BPC's fastest milers running with top form and speed.
This race was named the Peter & Molly challenge because these two students held the record times for boys and girls this year at BPC. Shortly after I announced the race to the students, Peter's record time of 6:34 was broken by Cameron with a 6:18. Peter had held the record for a VERY long time so the race was still named after him.
Students were invited to participate in the race based on their mile times in P.E. Basically I asked boys who could beat 7:30 and girls who could beat 9:00 to participate.
