State of the Action

This may have been the most thrilling race of the weekend.  Matt Rizzo was accelerating on the final lap of the race, after the field pulled through slower than expected through the first 400m.  Rizzo had blown away from numerous competitors over both the Indoor and Outdoor Seasons, but Hans Matzal was not ready to be another.  Untested up in Section 3, and at big meets, Matzal was able to answer Rizzo's surge, and edge him at the line.
