Jonny ran the 1600 Meter Run and 4×400 Relay at the Jarome Fields Indoor Track Meet held at the Akron University’s Louis & Freda Stile Athletics Fieldhouse today.
First up was the 1600 Meter Run. He started off staying with the main pack and let the leaders take a big lead well past 800 meters in the race. He picked up the pace around the 800 meter mark and ended up in 3rd place with a time of 4:31.72 out of 71 runners. He almost caught 2nd place and if there was another 20 meters in the race he would have easily taken 2nd place. Below is the video I took of the race.
The last race of the day was the Boys 4×400. The Granville team was in the 2nd heat. They finished with a time of 3:41.98 which was good enough for 4th place out of 12 teams. They also won their heat by a large margin. Jonny was running the 2nd leg of the race and was in 2nd place when he received the baton. He fought off another runner for about 150 meters, when the other runner came up from behind stepped on Jonny’s right foot while trying to pass him on the inside and tripped him. Jonny responded like he always does in that situation, he got mad and crushed the competition! Here is what he had to run in the rest of the race.
