The Great State Meet Recap - Outdoors




Boys 3200m

Event Info: 2016 Winner: Ben Petrella (Liverpool) 8:52.42, State Record: 8:42.92, Meet Record: 8:52.42, State Qualifier Mark (FAT): 9:18.74 (D1) - 9:30.64 (D2)


State of the Action

The field must not have learned from Indoors, as they let the pace dawdle in the middle.  A field full of guys who ran near 9-flat at Loucks, left it all to a kick at States.  There, Kevin Moshier would move from tenth to first in the final lap, dropping a 58 second closer on a field that wasn't ready to respond.  Ryan Gallagher takes second, but wins the D2 Title in the process.
