In the boy's 1000m race, Lamarr Davis of East Wake will be racing many of the nations' best middle distance runners. LaMarr has the 2nd best 500m time in the country, but he is yet to run 1000m. It will be interesting to see where his fitness is right now. Lamarr is the #2 returning 800m runner outdoors in the entire country. He will be up against Matt Cenrtowitz who just ran 4:10 in the Armory, Axel Mostrag who has run 4:17 on a slow track and has run 1:51, and Lionel Williams who has the fastest 1000m time in the country this season.
