1000m is race that is very seldom lay run, great to see that Kidder is in top shape.

Agree the 1000 meters is not a race run very often. Usually just in the north at some indoor meets.
Just from experience he was probably coming through the 800 meters at 1:51/1:52 which is respectable for this time of year in the 800. The kid will probably bring this time down quite a bit by the ncaa championships. I'm guessing he's a 800 meter guy.

In the running world we have become known as Middle Distance U.
