Stogsdill Finds Redemption Plus Some With National Championship

Chris Stogsdill of Marcellus won the national championship in the mile at Nike Outdoor Nationals earlier today with a new PR of 4:06.70. Syracuse Mile has already lined up an interview with him which should be posted after I take the boards on Thursday.

Hatz off to Alex Hatz of F-M who had a valiant close over the last 100 and took second in the race. I'd like to get an interview with him, too, at some point this summer.

You two definitely made Central New York proud!

Hatz takes state title, would trade it for faster time

Link here. It was an impressive 4:06 run, though I'm baffled by the statement he made about being disappointed by not hitting 4:04.

I missed the meet, but apparently Stogs blew up after pushing the first mile of the 3200 at 4:24 pace. Liverpool boys took the 4x800.

All in all, a great weekend for Section 3 middle distance!
