Litchfield Ajavon ‘19, with little training at this point in the season over the hurdles, managed to make it through the prelims and the semi-finals to advance to the Finals of one of the largest meets in the area, where he finished a respectable 6th place showing incredible early season form. Freshman phenom Zeddy Williams ‘21 ran a superb race running wire to wire in 1st place to record the 7th best time of of the day in the 800-meters.
Boehm was not the only one to have a special day with number of personal record performances on the afternoon. Jahsaiah Moses ‘19 got the team off to a solid start with an all time best in the 300-meters. Paige Hathaway ‘18 is on a mission this season and notched her first personal best of the season in the 500-meter event. James Dixon ‘19 was next up and in his second meet of the year and first at 500-meter distance this season, he took a full second off his best time from 2017.
