USATF Juniors: 10th place for Dietrich Mosel

First things first: Kudos to USATF and meet management for moving this race to 10 a.m. Conditions were still far from ideal – 80 degrees and extremely humid – but there was cloud cover and it was not nearly as dangerous as it will be at 6 p.m., when forecast highs are close to 100 degrees. Put it this way: Friday at 6 p.m., we were sitting at Hayward Field watching the meet, and it was 98 degrees in the shade. Yikes.

Dietrich ran well. He wanted to do better. But he ran well. Start with the finish: Superb! His last lap was in an eye-popping 67.87 seconds, vaulting him into 10th place out of 14 entrants. The early pace was very slow, then very fast. Deet got gapped by most of the field, and settled into an 82-83/lap pace. He had some slow laps toward 8km, but then rallied for a strong finish.

This meet is about representing the program well on a national level. Dietrich did that. And for that, we are proud of him. Nicely done.
