Boys 1600m

Utah's Steven Shepherd (center) is flanked by Washington junior Alex McClary (left) and Canada's Aaron Robson (a junior competing for LeDuc Track Club) in taking their spots on the podium. Shepherd was decalred the event champion with the meet's best time, even though he did it in the second heat. Shepherd's not-so-stellar pace in prelims left him out of the A heat. McClary termed the trip as "the scariest of my life" -- including what he called an endless 14-hour drive and a forgettable stay at a small hotel along the way. Part of the fun!

LeDuc (Canada) standout Aaron Robson is among his nation's best!

PRELIMS SUMMARY: The big news here was Utah's Steven Shepherd failing to finish in Top 12, thus not earning a bid into the"A heat" final. Shepherd was aiming to run 4:32, which he thought would qualify (it did, as 4:33 was the cutoff). However, Shepherd settled into fourth at one point, and admittedly cruised more than he should have. Never flashing a serious move, Shepherd took fourth in his heat. "I was too conservative... eased TOO MUCH," Shepherd quipped afterward. "Looks like I might miss the fast heat."... Canadians are said to be very deep in the distances this year, and their first-day showing supported the claim. No less than a quintet of Canadians earned tickets to the Saturday final, including a trio from the LeDuc Track Club. Washington's Alex McCrary, who motored to a 1:50.72 outdoor clocking for 800 last spring, led three under 4:28 in the second of the 16 heats contested, 12 of which had no qualifiers to finals.
