RACE SUMMARY
Clay Splits - 62, 63, 63, 46
Clay's Race
It was a great race... I was dead last at the 800m in 2:05 (62, 63), which is the fastest I've reached the 800m all season, but I felt in control and relaxed... hit the 1100m around 2:53, so :48 from 800-1100, slowed down a bit, then finished at 3:54.97, so a 61 (high) last lap... same exact time as I ran at Jesse Owens to the hundredth, but felt great doing it as opposed to that meet when I was falling apart doing it. I can go faster. It was a really packed race through 1000m, then it strung out... I conservatively held off my strong kick until 300m, but was making moves at 600m to go... I probably could have kicked with 400m+ to go... nonetheless, I felt very strong finishing and smoked a lot of guys in the last 300m.
The race included 2009 D-3 1500m National Champion Ty Griffin and Runner-Up Macklin Chaffee... Chaffee got his revenge with a win!
