EVENT 5 - 400 METERS - Heat 1

The gun sounds on the first heat and the runners start out in a real conservative pace. No one is applying themselves early in this split. Yellope is out in front and his 1st split time is 11.8, good, but he's capable of better. Gonzalez is a couple strides back with Mighty right on his outside hip. Babson's 13.35 time is a full second behind the 7th place runner at the first split.

In the second split it looked like Yellope was going to open it up, but he immediately slowed down and his stride has shortened significantly, he may have tweaked a hamstring. At the end of the second Pflaggstettler had flown past Yellope and Gonzalez to take the lead. His split time was 11.85 and his time at the halfway point was 24.05. At the split Yellope was on the inside lane with Lesgettham having closed - running stride-for-stride with him in lane 2. The rest of the runners were tightly bunched except for Babson, who was almost 2 seconds back at this point.

At the end of the 3rd split Pflaggstettler was still leading., Followed by Mello who overtook Yellope, who fell to all the way to 7th, and Lesgettham, who's hold on 3rd was precarious.

In the last 100 Meters Pflaggstettler kept his solid pace going and his final split time of 12.10 was good enough to win the heat. An awesome final split time of 11.6 by Palmer allowed him to pass Mello, who was able to hold on to 3rd place. Lesgettham seemed to hit a wall and posted a poor 12.3 time in the final 100 meters, allowing Mighty to sneek in a tie him. Gonzalez, who was only strides ahead of Yellope at the end of split 3, had a horrible 4th 100, posting a time of 12.6, but thankfully for him Yellope's injury became to much and he posted an even worse split of 12.75. Babson, nearly walked across the line.
