1. Nick Willis, U-M 3:41.81#
2. Nate Brannen, U-M 3:41.92#
3. Victor Gras, U-M 3:47.62#
4. Andrew Ellerton, U-M 3:49.99
13. Rondell Ruff, U-M 3:55.42

Very solid openers for willis and Brannen in what Michigans website described as "soaking rain and cold and windy conditions" And maybe Gras's best race ever at 1500 taking into consideration the conditions.

3. John D'Arcy, U-M 1:52.31
7. Mike Woods, U-M 1:52.92
11. Andrew Wechter, U-M 1:55.11

Darcy's first 800 at UM was a decent one everything considering. Looks like they let Wechter give it a try as well.

If the weather was as bad as it was here I'm surprised they even held the meet. Everything was cancelled here, both yesterday and today.

I was at the meet, the weather wasn't anything too horrible, MUCH worse today. Their run was very impressive, they ran the first 200 of the last lap in 26 and ran a 54 for the last lap. They were flying, it was cool to see.

So where was gras going into the last lap? he had to be at best 248 thruogh 1100 then with at worst a 59 second last lap...making his 347 not to shabby with the conditions.

I just took a direct quote. And i think soaking rain would probably be a heavier rain if i were to guess....not all rain soaks things Valli :-p I'm sure you've been out in a rain that didn't soak you lol.
