Push him they did - his 800 time was around 2:00. Billy went through 1200 in 3:02.?? and brought it home alone with all he had left. Will & Tommy ran PR's, as did most of the rest of the field. Some outstanding results tonight, what a thrill to be there!
We're so proud of you, Billy. You're a real inspiration. Thank you, my friend. We will miss seeing you run here in AZ but we all know your future is bright and that you will continue to run with honor and pride for Arizona and the people of the Navajo and Hopi reservations where you will always be honored. Nahongvita. Run strong.

If he wants to continue to develop as a runner he should reconsider attending harvard. There are plenty of good schools out there where he can get a good education and be a great runner, Harvard is not one of them.
You were right on the money...Billy pooped the bed at Harvard...had an OK opening race and what happened? I asked about him on his facebook fan page and my ? was deleted - way to keep his fans "in the know" huh?
He was injured, along with most of the rest of the A team, shortly after the second meet, and was out for the rest of the season. I guess you can blame him if that's what you want to do. I don't think there was any secret about it.
