Richard Smith VA 1:49.04


Ever-modest Smith bows his head, even as he raises arms in victory.


Richard Smith (South Lakes, Reston, Va.) produced the year’s fastest time with a 1:49.04 victory.

Content to let Wil Fitts (Desoto, Texas) and Tramelo Smith (Lombard, Ill.) set the early pace, Richard Smith stayed within reach through the first 600 meters. Tramelo Smith lead through the first lap in 51.0 with Fitts on his heels as Smith hung back.

Halfway


With about 200 to go Richard Smith made his move, putting on a kick and picking off Fitts and then Tramelo Smith on the final turn. Junior Michael McGrath (Portland, Ore.), came up strong to finish behind Richard Smith in 1:50.48, followed by Paul Cross (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) in 1:51.36. Next was Fitts in 1:51.40 with Tramell Smith right behind in 1:52.57.

“I’m happy with my time,” said Richard Smith, “but the most important thing was to win. I knew I had one of the top seeds and I wanted to go out there and prove that I’m one of the best in the country.”

Richard Smith was a teammate of U. of Michigan miler Alan Webb, last year’s prep athlete of the year.

Surprising Jeremiah Johnson (Laramie, Wyo.), running in a "slower" section, earned second place on time with a 1:49.80. Johnson dropped his career best by five seconds. “I wasn’t really sure what to expect,” he said. “I’m from Wyoming and the competition over here is far beyond anything I’ve ever run against.” Johnson is signed to run for the University of Wyoming next year.
