Watch A Crazy-Close Elite Boys Mile At John Hay


Among the most exciting races at Friday's John Hay PA Distance Festival at Henderson High School was the Elite High School Boys Mile.

Featuring a number of the top milers from PA and surrounding states, it figured to be a good post-states clash, and the race didn't disappoint.

The lead exchanged hands numerous times throughout the race. In a great dual to the line, Justin Diehl of Calvert (MD) captured the win in 4:21.15, beating out Unionville's Cole Walker (4:21.64) and Radnor's Frank Brown (4:21.83).
