State of the Action

It's a brutal weekend schedule for Gitch Hayes, entered in all four of the distance events. Top seeded in both the 800m and 1600m, the 3200m and 4x800m could prove to wear down the legs on the busy weekend. That said, the 800m comes first, and Hayes is leading the field with his NY #2. Ryan Hagan is right on his tail, and if this race comes to a kick, it's anyone's deal. Just ask Matthew Doherty, the 10th seed here, who also happened to win the Indoor State Meet for 1000m.
