On Saturday it was the second day of Pre Classic, one of the greatest track meet ever next to The Olympocs and Olympic Trials. The first great race was the Women's 5K cause one of my favorite female distance runner and celebrity crush Shannon Rowbury was in the race and even thougn she wasn't at the front of the race I am so proud of her and Alex Pappas was one of the rabbits. Alex is the one who wears different singlet but cool singlet like a spider-man singlet and she is one of a kind. Then the Steeplechase was up with The Dancing Man Kemboi and American Record Holder Evan Jager. The race was an interesting one cause at the last 100 meters Kemboi & Kipruio has a wold finish cause Kemboi was in the wrong lane, laane 2 , and then pushes Kipruio off the track. Kemboi was DQ'd and that made everyone go up a place so that means Evan Jager, who was 5th place, ended up 4th place. Women's 1500 was up next and I though this was a fast 1500 with two amazing women distance runner's Shiela Reid & Treniere Moser and this was just the first hour of Pre Classic that was on NBC Sports Network.
The Second Hour & A Half was on NBC and the first distance event was Women's 800 with Alysia Montano, Brenda Martinez & Mary Cain three amazing women distance runners. After this race it was Cainasity cause Mary Cain got under 2 mins, 1:59 and got a HS & JR Record in the 800 with Brenda Martinez getting 2nd place. Also, after the Women's 800 the greatest moment in sports happened Alysia , who is know for here flower in the hair, gave here flower to Mary Cain. The next event was the Men's 5K and it was part of the last three distance races. I call this the Oregon Distance Project 5K cause Galen Rupp, Ritz & Mo Farah from Oregon Distance Project were in the race and I thought it was going to a repeat of the Olympic with Mo Farah, 1st place, & Galen Rupp, 2nd place, but I was wrong. The Next race of three distance races was Men's 800 with my bro for life Nick Symmonds and if you dodn't know I have Nick Symmond's autograph tattooed on me and he got 3rd place with Duane Solomon also in that race. The last race was The Bowerman Mile, the BIG race at Pre Classic, and the down side to this race was that the Gold and Silver Medalist from the Olympic didn't do so hot. Leo Did Not Finish and Makhloufi got 11th place but on the other hand it was a fast race.
