over Richard Smith of South Lakes after two laps

Second exchange: almost even.
Ken Schappert and Kanda Karmo dig in for the 800 meter leg.

Atlantic makes one last move
Jefferson gives chase and spurts to a 56.4 first lap
Jefferson leads after one lap

Webb wraps it up

The quick first lap takes its toll on Jefferson and the race is essentially over
with 800 meters to go.
Webb pounds down the home stretch as the crowd cheers his last high school race.

it's a new national record.
