Daniel Garleb, from Pickerington North, ran a 9:17 3200 this weekend at the Bulter Invitational. He beat Doug Norris, the 2nd fastest returning runner from D1 state meet in 3200 , by 17 seconds!!! Norris still ran a very respectable 9:34. Daniel's 9:17 would have placed him 2nd at last years state meet, behind Wills.
Garleb didn't even qualify to state in track last year. I think he has the best shot at beating Zach Wills, if that is possible. All I'm saying is that if Wills runs his B race, and Daniel runs his A+ race, he could win.
HE RAN A 9:17 UNPUSHED!
