The best distance runners in Indiana are meeting for the Indiana Miracle Mile Friday night at Franklin Central High School along with Class A 1600m State Champion, Jacob Thomson of Holy Cross. I have placed the best times I could find via Indiana MileSplit and Stephen Bain’s Indiana Distance Preview from Indiana Runners http://indianarunner.com/BoysDistanceTrackPreview2011.aspx.
Futsum Zeinasellassie (North Central) leads the field after placing 2nd at Foot Locker Nationals last December with a 15:10. He has a best time of 14:47. Trinity Invitational winner, Chris Walden (Carmel) was 3rd last week at the Arcadia Invitational in the 3200m Run with an 8:51.59. The times below show this race is loaded. Holy Cross’s Thomson has a chance to throw a big time PR after running a 9:32 for 3200m in March in his first meet at the Oldham County Kick-Off Classic.
