field here. Lucero of Bakersfield and Ben Aragon of West Hills broke
quickest with a fine 28.9 for the first 200. Three to go came by
at 44.1. At the 400 it was Barrios from Mexico and Ben Aragon at
59.3. A Chinese athlete was third with Aragon close on the Mexican

like he was hanging on for a super time!!! Aragon was 2:33.8 at
1000 meters, with 2:49.8 with one to go in second. Aragon was 3:06.2
with the leader close to 3:02 at the 1200. Ben was 16.5 for the
next 100 (3:22.6 at the 1300 meter mark with a half a lap to go).
