Jonny ran the 800 at the Akron Invitational. Unfortunately I got the flu and was unable to make the trip due to a fever, headache, nausea and overall soreness. Nikki did make the trip though and stayed all day as there was a chance that Jonny was also going to run the last event of the day, the mens 4×400, which the team ended up not starting. There were 23 teams in attendance and they split up the early sessions, the blue division from the later session the gold division. Jonny wasn’t considered a top tier gold division in the 800 which was a single heat, Instead he ran in the fastest heat of the blue division. He ran a 1:55.99 which placed him 3rd out of 20 in his division and he would have placed 9th overall out of 31 if they timed the 3 heats, 1 gold division and 2 blue division, together. Not bad for a freshmen!
Nikki was kind enough to take some video when she was there with her phone. Here is the video she took.
