Boys Mile

With Ryan Hall leaving town after rain delay,
Nick Schneider takes his 2nd big race of the year

It was supposed to be Ryan Hall's race. Following on his #3 all time 1500 meters at Stanford a week earlier, Hall seemed poised to threaten sub-4 territory himself after being overshadowed by Alan Webb's achievements. Hall was at the track Saturday night warming up when the big thunderstorm washed out the evening's races. Hall agreed to change his flight from 7 am Sunday so he could be on hand when the meet resumed Sunday morning. But after a night of little sleep because of noise at his hotel, it was decided not to run.

Enter Nick Schneider MN, who won the Millrose Games mile with a last turn rush to surprise Bobby Lockhart. Schneider hung with the leaders -- Adam Perkins MO early and Shane Stroup MD late -- and then made his move on the far turn to win decisively.

 

 

Lap 1 - After first turn jostling, Nick Schneider MN (1310) moved to the front on the backstretch,
yielding to Perkins (866) at the end of the lap. Others visible are David Vidal MT (499) and Ian Cronin IL (867).

Lap 2 - Perkins continued on top through the half in 2:05.5,
a step ahead of Schneider, with Ty Jensen NJ (922) 3rd.

Lap 3 - Nick Schneider got the lead down the backstretch,
but Shane Stroup MD made a big move on the homestretch to join Schneider.

 

Lap 4 -Stroup and Schneider gap the rest of the field at the start of the bell lap.

 

Stroup spurted ahead by several meters, but Schneider came back on the far turn.
In mid-stretch, Schneider in command, as Jesse Rhodenbaugh OH (1396) comes up to challenge Stroup

Orange hair was a team decision by Schneider's SMR team.
