It's "Meet Week" U.S Elite Juniors
It's Meet Week here on the Juniors Team, we are doubling up and feeling strong.
Last week, Shaun Miller (400m, 800m) did not advance as we expected to in the AAU rounds, as expected. However he ran a gutsy race and placed some strategy into it. We are proud about that as this is only his sophomore effort in the event. As things fall into place it will all "click". He'll be focusing on the 1500 the remainder of the summer.
Today at the Summer Track Series, Nighel Scott brought the field down in a surge in the last 70 meters to win the 200m in 22.84a. Nihgel warmed up in the 400m only 30 mins before cruising to a 50.64a with no competitors close to his lead.
Dylan Beard ran the 400m and the 200m respectively running 54.5 and 23.8
