There was some subtle hint's indoors, but who would have predicted this performance? Gairy Springer has the breakout performance of his life. Taking second at Cities indoors in the 600m, Springer has to be the favorite for the 800m after a 7-second outdoor personal best, where he is now NY #3. Coming through in 53-seconds, Springer held on for the win.

Some rust needed to be busted off for some of New York's finest. The pace went out dreadfully slow, with Maguire and Vitucci leading the field. Upset with the pace, Tooker pushed ahead at the half, pulling the field apart. However, the push would be too much, as Mike Vitucci, the athlete with the fastest 1600m personal best, came away with the win in a kick.
