Generations Park Summer Creek Inv. Boy's 800m Heat 2
Some of the top 800m runners in the state went head to head today at the Generations Park Summer Creek Invitational.
Brazoswood senior and US No. 1 Sam Whitmarsh paced a strong second lap for the win over Summer Creek junior Darius Rainey. Rainey also turned in a sold second lap followed by Manvel senior Adam Mason and Fort Bend Marshall senior Davon Beckles.
With a fast lead lap and a 54 second 400m split through windy conditions, the backstretch was where the money had to be made.
Whitmarsh, the Texas A&M signee pulled away with a solid last 150m to take the win. The 1:50.48 winning time was his second consecutive week of running in the 1:50s and is the new TX No. 1 time this season.
