Josh Lampron 5th at USA Junior Nationals

Running his first back to back 1500 races in two days (trials and finals) Josh Lampron came from way back (10th place) and closed with his usual strong kick to finish 5th in Eugene, Oregon. The early pace started out slow (62 first 400) and then went even slower (2:07 800), allowing the race to be cluttered as all of the contenders were bunched together at the bell lap. Lampron seemed out of position at the back of the pack, but managed to move through the mass of legs and arms and ran 3:50.24, just off his best mark ever. This draws a close to an unbelievable year of track for the junior, an outdoor season we will long remember. Here is the video of the race.
