This blog is about the first three day of DI Nattys. The first two days were all about semi-finals for all the distance events but two events that did have finals were The Women's 10K and Men's 10K where Lawi Lalang won the 10K.
On the third day the finals of the distance events started with the Men's 800 with Orgeon's Own Elijah Greer and Penn State's Casimir Loxsom, who was tring to get his first DI Nattys 800 win. Greer is my #OregonTakeOver bro and I was ulling for Casimir and Elijah to go 1-2 and that is what happened with Greer winning the 800 in 1:46.58 in his final meet as a college distance runner. Also in 2nd & 3rd place were 2 Penn State istance Runner Casmir Loxsom in 2nd & Brannon Kidder in 3rd for 14 points for The Penn State Guys. Next up on the track was the men's steeplechase with my buddies Henry Lelei, Robby Nierman, Jared Bassett & Aric Van Halen. Cause we are steeplechase teammate I was pulling for the great distance name in track Aric VanHalen cause we are coached by the same coach, Coach Yelawolf aka Billy Nelson. I was wrong and it looked like Henry Lelei was going to win the Steeplechase but he fell in the Water Pit on his last Water Pit jump so he got 2nd place and I am still proud of him. Also, a fun fact for you about the Men's Steeplechase is that Colordao's Aric VanHalen's dad is Alex VanHalen & his uncle is Eddie VanHalen from the rock group VanHalen that is so cool but it is more amazing that Aric is my Steeplechase TeamMate. The last distance event on the track was the Women's 5K with one of my friends Jordan Hasay, who I was pulling for the win, and she looked like she was going to win but she got 3rd place with Abby D'Agostino winning the 5K. With the last day coming up they had the Women's & Men's 1500 & Men's 5K coming up for the Distance Events
