Finally watched the race video. It was obviously very helpful to both Thorvaldson and Brown to have a fast runner to push them. Fast competition leads to fast times. Thorvaldson ran behind Brown until about the 5:40 mark, and Brown was always in the same straight until the end.
The Virginia Beach track seems like a nice facility. The track is similar to the Liberty Univ. track and was built by the same company.
Times and form will be odd this year due to the pandemic. I generally think that the added rest and a lighter schedule will be conducive to better performances, but who knows?
I would probably place Thorvaldson at the of of the current high school list, I guess Tuohy holding her off at NXN despite not running her best race was pretty darn good in retrospect. :)
