Ricky Quintana's notes
The 800m field had an ideal number of entrants, 6. Paul Cross was
looking forward to this one. He used this meet as trial run for
his history making attempt at doubling in the 1600m/800m at the
Florida
State Champs in May.
In lane 1, Cross was able to seize control on the first curve and
raced down
the backstretch with Cobb right behind. As they entered the homestretch,
Cobb and then Gaeta passed on the outside
to hit the 400m in 54. Cross was 55. Patrick was fourth.
With 200m to go, Cobb was battling Gaeta as Cross was cruising
some 3m
behind. Patrick was beginning to fade and Valure was making gains
on the
leaders.
As they rounded the final turn, Cross again was in full flight
and hammered
home the win in a national leading time of 1:51.66. Gaeta ran strong
to hold
off a late run by Valure.
