Brannon Kidder started out his weekend of running by helping
Edward Cheserek run
the second fastest Indoor Mile of all time. He was the rabbit for the first 800M, tasked with running a 1:55 to set up the
"solo" effort of Edward.
Kidder led Cheserek out, hitting 209 meters in 31 seconds and 409 in
59.x with Piazza behind him and Cheserek cruising in third. The crowd
let out a roar when Cheserek crossed 809 in 1:56-low, signaling that the
sub-3:50 was well and truly on. Kidder stepped aside after 850 meters,
his duty done.

Brannon wasn't done for the weekend. He ran the Mile on Saturday. He ran a PR
3:56.3. More importantly, he crossed an official 1500M mark in under
3:39.5, with
3:39.17, thus surpassing the World Indoor Championship standard one week prior to the USATF Indoor Championships. Congrats, Brannon.
And also in Boston,
Casimir Loxsom ran in the
New Balance Indoor Grand Prix 800M, placing 6th in
1:49.29.
The big news there is he ditched his Alumni Singlet for one of Billy Cvecko's Toad Track Club Singlets!
