With the 3k/5k crew minus Ethan K. and Cromer, stretch, drills, striders, waited awhile for the camera to reset

CMU Duel
Got boxed in at the start but stayed calm and waited for an opportunity, Coach said that she wanted some pressure on J.P., I saw that Dario was behind J.P. with no Case guys in between, I made move to pull up behind and eventually in front of J.P., felt pretty good, noticed the heat but kept focusing on keeping my eyes up, JP made a move with about 3 laps to go, stayed on his tail but was outkicked with a lap to go and took 2nd, had a decent kick myself, perhaps I should have kicked earlier, only splits I could gather were 800m 2:34, 3k 9:25, really had no idea what pace I was running except for JP's 400 splits, my 2nd place finish allowed the 4*400m relay to matter for securing the men's victory, glad that we got the obelisk back, 8 second PR, great start to track season
