The Nike Border Clash 13 had the best weather that I have recalled in the past decade. The 4,387 meters that the best 40 boys and girls from Washington and Oregon traversed was pretty good footing for this time in November. It is a deceptively tough course. However, there are few times in the past 13 years when runners have been this close! In fact the first three boys were within a second!

The strength of the Washington boys was something that just had to be seen! The first eight runners were from Washington.

And the top finisher was Anthony Armstrong, who bidded his time, and made his final surge with less than one hundred meters to go. ” I did not go out with them, I stayed close, but I felt that they had gone out too fast, ” noted Armstrong after the race. ” I started to move during the second mile (they hit mile 1 in 5:05, and two miles in 10:13).

The constant surging of Izaic Yorks and Nathan Weitz continued to break down the front pack, until, with less than 1,000 meters to go, it was down to three.

Yorks made his move as the runners hit the final 300 meters, with Weitz and Armstrong right behind.

Keeping one’s cool when
one is under pressure from two competitors, with the end in sight means one cool competitor. Anthony Armstrong kept to his race plan. He made his last surge, which was what it took, with less than thirty meters to go. The race was so close that Anthony Armstrong’s 13:48 was the same time as Izaic Yorks. At 13:49 was Nathan Weitz.

“I tried to keep my finish until the last turn, I have raced against both of the guys and I knew I had to hold off until the end of the race! ” noted Anthony Armstrong. When asked how it felt to win the Nike Border Clash, Anthony kept it simple, ” It feels great!” His huge smile insuring that all knew that Mr. Armstrong’s hard won victory would be enjoyed!

Really liked this tweet. @EilishMccolgan took two medals at the #commonwealthgames2022. Her first in the 10,000m was gold, and her second was in the 5,000m with a silver! This was her 4th CG games! ...@birmingham2022, @ASICSeurope

Team Scotland @Team_Scotland

GOLD! 🥇

What a run from Eilish McColgan to win the Commonwealth Games 10,000m title 32 years after her mum! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

And a Games record too!!!
