im only working towards districts the other meets we go to do not really count for anything
so could i still stick with the weights for another month or just completely throw them out now?

got to disagree with you 100%.. specifucity training is what you need to be a better runner... any weight training for the legs take away your stregth/power for what the main focus is. running. lets say hes running 60 second quarters in training. how can he get to 58's with very tired legs from leg training? look at the best in the world over the years.the old english guys , the guys frm new zeland. now the african nations ethopia and kenya. running. and more running. peter snell, dick quax, emil puttemans, yifter, ryan, boit, kino, foster, wottle. all ran... a bit of weights in the very off season. thats it.
hill training, running in tall grass, running in sand. all resistance training, but still running, recruiting RUNNING MUSCLE FIBERS.
