I think we all agree, this guy needs to retire. We need some fresh blood.

Except he just came to life for the rated boys 3200m. Maybe he is more of a distance fan, or someone got him a Red Bull.
He doesn't need to retire... he just needs a friend to announce with him!
2 sub 9:00 in the rated
20 in the seeded
Culpepper DNS in the mile
Crazy how the winner of the invitational boys 800M would've taken 4th in the seeded section... some questionable choices made by the meet director
The guy who won the invite 800 closed in 53. He was clearly the best 800 runner on the day though the 1:49's in the seeded were impressive.
2026 = ?
Inv - ?
Seeded - 20
Rated - 2 (feels like people were getting too comfortable with the pace while the announcer was talking about how many will break 9)

Having to announce every runner in the 3200 when there are about 40 entries is ridiculous. The intros need more time than the race.
Summer Wilson scratches out of the 3200
Hennessy taking it out hard

Lead is growing

And 2 more girls just under 10, and a couple barely over
False start
Jackson Spencer leads through first mile in 4:19.
LRC Correction. HIs official 1600 split was 4:20.00. You can watch the whole race below. Or to save time, we've cued it to start with the final 400.
I think it is safe to say this is the announcer’s favorite race.
Wow! That was awesome!
GOOD GRIEF!!! This kid is incredible.
LRC update. He won in a meet record 8:31.80, going 4:20-4:11.80. He ran a 56.59 last 400 - the only guy in the field to break 60. Full spltis here:
