4-6 at NXN were very close (all ran 14:55.5). Mathison, Heidesch, and Birnbaum at 4, 5, and 6. Noah Breker was close behind in 7th (14:55.9). Mathison had two other guys right with him at the line at NXN. Breker, who was 0.4 behind, got second at champs. Also, all these guys are from the midwest/heartland region which again speaks to the strength of the midwest this year.
