In front of a crowd of more than 50,000, it was another good day to be a Trackrabbit as the locals closed their relays with some positive results. 

In the boys’ 4X100 finals, the team of Alex Cannon, Kameron Jackson, Kameron White, and Kaelin Clay finished sixth (second best in America) with a 41.18, a .21 improvement over their heat time.

The boys’ 4X400 finished third in their heat but missed the finals by, seriously, 0.15 seconds, as their 3:15.68 was bested by Rio Mesa’s 3:15.53.  Here are the splits: Kameron White (50.5), Kaelin Clay (47.5), Chris Hall (50.2), Shaquille Howard (47.5).

The triumph of the day, though, was the boys’ 4X800 team, who finished with the world’s fourth-best time, and third-best in America.  They finished in 7:44.40, in an incredibly tight 3200 meter race, with the first place finisher less than three seconds away at 7:41.77.  The splits: Myles Andrews (1:55.9), Aaron Harris (1:55.8), Christian Penn (1:56.3, a PR), Chris Hall (1:56.4).
