Lane 3 – Palmiero
Lane 4 – Ginsberg
Lane 5 – Peltonen
Lane 6 – Bafou
Lane 7 – Llyw
Lane 8 – Chilton
I expect this heat will be much faster than the first…
At the start it already is, as all but Llyw get out of the blocks quickly.
Through the first hurdles things are tight, but Peltonen, Ginsberg, and Chilton appear to be hitting their stride better than the rest, and not surprisingly Llyw seems to be off a bit, having to chop his steps coming into his jumps…which is preventing him from getting any real speed.
At the halfway point, Ginsberg looks to be establishing himself, exploding off each jump and starting to pull away from this fast field. Bafou has hit a hurdle hard and it cost him a good bit of time.
As we come to the finish, Ginsberg is looking phenomenal. Chilton and Peltonen are neck and neck with Palmiero trying to close but seemingly unable to. Path has had a solid run, and has passed Bafou. Llyw seems content to just finish at this point.
Ginsberg wins it going away.
It’s close for second but Chilton’s lean seems to give him second.
Peltonen has a great run for 3rd.
Palmiero comes across next followed by Path about a half stride back. Bafou and Llyw round out the field.
