Jonny’s only race today was the 800 Meter Run Finals as he qualified earlier in the week to make it to the finals.
He needed to get 4th place or better to advance to the regionals while being in the district that was loaded with talent when compared to the rest of the districts. Six athletes had already run under 1:57 in his district. Most other districts only have 1 person that has run under 1:57 and some districts the fastest person had yet to break sub 1:59.
Jonny ran a smart race and did what he needed to advance by taking 3rd place with a new person best of 1:54.461. He shaved off almost 2 seconds from his previous best and had a very strong finish. He has now recorded the 6th fastest 800 Meter Race recorded in the state this year. Here are the official race results from timerhub.com.
