This was a great night of racing and Brian seized the opportunity to race with a solid core of regional athletes. Many thanks to Marathon Sports, Hoka and Bay State Running for organizing this meet.

Brian swung down to NYC to race at Track Night NYC at Icahn Stadium. Racing in the Boys Scholastic mile sponsored by Powerbar on a cool, wet and windy evening, Brian was focused on racing within himself and learning new race tactics inside a pack. Brian raced his way to 7th place in 4:13.59. To make the most of his trip to NYC, Brian did his long run effort the following day at Van Cortlandt Park, gaining more time on the trails, fields and rollers to prep for future races.

Back in Massachusetts, Brian focused on getting prepped for the Open Mile at Adrian Martinez that combined the top scholastic milers with the top open athletes. This is one the best meets of the outdoor season and Brian led from gun to tape in a relaxed effort, running 4:12.35 to capture first place. Knowing that he wanted to get in a strong 2 mile effort this season, Brian focused on making his season debut at New Balance Nationals Outdoor at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. He was aiming to improve upon his lifetime PR of 9:10.70 from NBNI in March. Despite a four-hour weather delay, Brian did an amazing job of channeling his energies into 8 strong laps in the Championship 2 Mile. From the gun, Brian was committed to pushing the pace and led his section through the mile in 4:33. Brian started cranking the pace down and stopped the clock at a sterling 9:00.43, a new PR at NBNO!

Despite a short night of recovery, Brian was excited to see what energy he had in his legs. Brian laced up for his last high school nationals race in the NBNO Championship Mile and crossed the line at 4:16.96. Not a PR, but a well-earned victory lap of sorts at Franklin Field for a strong spring season!

Brian was invited to race the 1500m at La Classique d’athlétisme de Montréal, an elite meet in Montreal, Canada. Brian made the most of the opportunity and turned in one of the best races of his high school career. He remained patient and executed his power down the stretch, earning a 3 second PR in the 1500m of 3:53.06. With his performance this spring, Brian qualified for the 1500m and 5000m at the U20 U.S Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon in early July. Brian decided to focus on the 1500m and, the week after La Classique, he doubled down on training for the big stage. On Friday July 7, Brian raced in the U20 USATF Championships 1500m semifinal. He raced conservatively and closed hard to earn the time qualification in 3:53.74 for the finals on Sunday afternoon. In the 1500m final, Brian sat in the large, clustered pack and patiently waited for the race to get going. Brian closed faster than he ever had before, closing down his final 800m in 1:59 and his final 300m in 44.06 seconds to finish 10th in 3:54.71. This experience gave Brian valuable insight into tactical racing, racing in rounds, and how to run fast closing laps.
