Poly LB Boys have an explosive anchor in Bryshon Nellum, run a USR 1:28.43 B-800 Sprint Medley
As Long Beach Poly 100m leadoff Evant Orange folded into the blocks in lane 5, the crowd was already buzzing about a possible national record shot. He handled his stick duties well, getting a clean handoff to #2 man Isaiah Green, who shot up the backstretch to a waiting Joey Hughes. Around Green, contenders like Logan CA and Middletown OH were already falling off. Hughes broke things open on the 200 leg with a 21.3 PR, getting the baton to Bryshon Nellum well clear of Crenshaw High and with a fighting chance at Glenville Heights OH’s 2003 record of 1:28.95.
Tellingly, just as Nellum rounded the curve toward home, the stadium lights flickered on to illuminate the record attempt. Nellum looked relaxed but focused as he closed on the finish line with an electrifying 45.6 anchor that sliced a half second off the old mark. As his team celebrated their 1:28.43 USR at the end of the track, one of them could be heard repeating a question to Bryshon, making sure he’d heard him correctly.
“You said 45 was easy?”
Nellum just nodded and embraced his squad. It might not have been easy, but he made it look that way. G-800 Sprint Medley
Eleanor Roosevelt was back in action for the special 800 medley section. They and Logan CA were both out well, with O’Dell CA and St. Mary’s Academy CA moving up to contend at the handoff to the 400 anchor. The race looked to be a barnburner at that point, but no one had an answer for Logan’s frosh phenom Thandi Stewart, who ran 54.24 as an eighth grader. Stewart dropped a stellar 54.1 anchor here to gap the field, take the 1:43.42 win for her Logan teammates, and relegate the Greenbelt MD squad to a 1:47.16 and their second relay silver.
