Both Isaiah Harris (800M) and Brannon Kidder (1500M) will be lacing their spikes up in the NCAA Finals in Eugene next weekend, but what about the other 800U stand-out?
Casimir Loxsom has been somewhat quiet this year as he is building up for a shot at the Olympics. This is opposite of the criticism from wannabes and never-wases on the message boards moderated, encouraged and sock-puppeted by haters within and without our community. Cas should not be suffering from burn-out or over-racing leading up to the Trials.
Yesterday was a strong step in that build-up at the Music City Meet where he stepped into an advertised attempt at the world record in the 600M, one of his strongest events. The race was dealt a big blow with the pull out of Duane Solomon at the last minute, but went off anyway.
Casimir ran a strong 2nd place behind Charles Jock (1:14.96 to 1:14.92). I can't wait to see what is next!
