USATF meet

[Nevada Hoya]

Buky Bamigboye had a fairly good day in the first day of the heptathlon at the USATF national junior meet. She finished 3rd in the 100H (first in her heat), 8th in the high jump, 15th in the shotput, and 5th (2nd in heat) in the 200m. She is in 4th place with 3132 points, while the leader has 3263 points. She is just seven points out of third place. Several other Hoyas are entered in the junior meet, with a few Hoyas (mostly alums) entered in the senior meet.

The Hoyas swept the 5000m events at the USATF junior meet. In the men's race and Bumbi and Levi Miller went 1,2:

Not a great time, but probably hot and humid, and Jordan McDougal down in 6th recorded a 14:03 time earlier in the year. Good job!

Natasha dominated the women's event, winning by 25 seconds:

Buky moved into 3rd place after two events on the final day. One of her best events, the 800m, is the last event. She seems to be too far behind the first place women, but maybe she can sneak into 2nd.

Alex Mason continued a tradition of excellence in the 3000m SC, started by American junior holder, John Gregorek, by finishing 2nd in the junior race. The race was held at 1:00 pm in, I imagine, hot and humid conditions (at least those were the conditions yesterday). So good times considering the conditions.

Chris Lukezic won his heat, which was the fastest heat of the day (equivalent to 3:55 mile). The other heats were much slower, so I hope that his heat didn't take too much out of him.

We all knew that Bumby was good, but what a revelation Levi has been. Indeed looks good for next year!

Chris Lukezic finished 4th in the 1500m. As expected, Bernard Lagat, originally from Kenya, but recently an American citizen and holder of the American record finished first, but the next two were sort of surprises, especially Gabe Jennings. Manzano beat Chris last year in the NCAA, in which Chris broke away from the pack, but was ultimately passed by Manzano et al. Jennings is a former national champion, who started an journey around the world, and has been out of action for a while.
