Coming off the final hurdle, Spencer Adams reached back to his early training in the 400 meters. He caught up with Chance Casey and nipped him at the tape in one of
the closest finishes of the meet. Adams (Butler High School, Matthews, N.C.) became the first double winner of the boys' event.

Casey (Crosby, TX), third in Friday's high hurdles, had a clear lead after 200 meters. Adams, the Clemson recruit, began to narrow the gap with two hurdles to go. Coming of the tenth hurdle, Adams began to reel in Casey. He squeaked past the Texan at the finish.

Casey, the No. 2 prep in the 300 meter hurdles, was the lone junior in the field. Adams' time was 50.99 with Casey at 51.07. James Thurn (Cicero, NY) came up for third place in 51.86.

“It felt good to double up,” said Adams. “I knew he [Casey] was coming because I could hear him. I used to run the 400 when I was little. I used my 400 experience after I got over the last hurdle. I wanted to keep my eyes straight on the lanes, don’t worry who is behind you or beside you or ahead of you – just go for the win. I had to bring that out of the grave today.

“I gave him an opening coming off the curve. I felt like I was getting over the hurdles kind of slow. I could feel him coming up on me because I gave him the opportunity, so I’m going to let him make his move coming out of the corner and then I was going to make my move after the last hurdle.”

Girls


by Elliot Denman for NSSF

When New Rochelle, NY senior Elizabeth Mott stutter-stepped and nearly went down going over the ninth hurdle, some fans shuddered and feared the worst. But Mott kept her cool, regained her stride, and went on to 59.96 victory, as the only runner in the 30-athlete field to break one minute.

It was Destiny Lumas, the Fort Worth, Texas junior, who stumbled, fell to the track, and never got up.

The Decatur, Ga. pair of Sonni Austin and Paige Morton, DeKalb County Express Track Club teammates, closed fastest of all to claim the 2-3 spots. Austin, a junior at Stockbridge, Ga. High, ran 1:01.06 to edge Morton, a senior at Miller Grove, with a 1:01.12.

Rumson-Fair Haven, NJ junior Melissa (Missy) Bellin made a strong late-race move and held second place with two barriers to go. But she couldn’t fight off Austin and Morton and wound up fourth in 1:01.67. Still, this was a sensational year for Bellin and the whole Rumson team, which emerged from previous anonymity to share their NJ State group crown and gain national recognition.

“I thought I’d run a better time, but when I hit that hurdle it threw everything off,” said Mott, who’d run a national-leading 58.54 winning her New York State sectional title.

New Rochelle High School has had a distinguished track history – its graduates include former world 400-meter record-holder Lou Jones. NRHS coach Andy Capellan has produced indoor national champions before – but Mott becomes his first-ever outdoor national winner.

“This is going to make coach very, very happy,” said the smiling Mott, bound for the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill as a political science major.
