Men's 800m at USATF Nationals

Unread postby SKOT » Mon Jun 26, 2006 3:58 pm

Nick Symmonds, formerly of Willamette University, went from 7th to 2nd over the last 100m of the 800 meters. He was a 7 time NCAA DIII National Champion (3 in the 1500 and 4 in the 800, he did not race the 1500 his soph year because of injuries), its good to see fellow DIII athletes do great things. I just wish ESPN had done some research so they didn't look like fools on the broadcast!

Congrats Nick!
