Notes
Whoohoo! Denault Invite @ Cornell. In heat 2 of the mile, shooting for a PR and the state's B standard of 4:34.24. Coach put me in at 4:31 and that was the goal. Confident all week that I was ready for another big race. It went great, the first two guys in my heat got out quick and went on to run very fast, but I ran smart and hung back a little on lap 1 (34.5 for 209). Picked it up a bit on lap 2 and then settled into a great rhythm of ~34 flats. After the half mile it started hurting but I was able to keep ramping up the effort and maintain pace. Barrett passed me with 300 to go which helped a lot, kicked me into gear and I was able to finish in a 32 and get him back.
Hopefully will make the mile at states next weekend, in which case I will get to try and hang on the back and grab another PR
