The runners enter the starting blocks, the take their marks and the gun sounds. The runners explode out of their crouches and begin their sprint when the gun sounds again and again and again....FALSE START.

The False Start is charged to Palmer.

The runners go through the routine of getting set. The gun sounds and they are off. It's a clean start and as expect Mello jumps out quickly, Babson is right on his hip in lane 8, and Yellope and Lesgettham are keeping pace in lanes 2 and 3. Even less than half way down the track it is obvious the rest of the field isn't going to keep up. Palmer, got a horrible start, probably protecting against a second false start, and he actually trails the entire field by a wide margin.

As the runners head for the tape, there is the lean and...

Mello and Babson tie
Yellope is 3rd
Lesgettham is a half a step back in 4th
Pflaggstettler gets 5th
Gonzalez is 6
Mighty takes 7
and Palmer gets 8
