Championship of America Boys 4x800m Finals
Jauavney James anchors his St. Elizabeth Tech (JAM) team with a 1:52.18 to win in 7:38.38
The early goings of this 3200m relay saw Morris Hills (NJ) challenging the Jamaicans. When Miguel Morrison of Morris Hills handed the baton off to his teammate, he found himself between Kingston College (JAM) and St. Elizabeth Tech. Morris Hills would fall back significantly as its 1:58 leg wasn't able to keep up with St. Elizabeth's Paul Tate (1:52.84). The second leg was also where Pennsbury (PA) started to make some noise off of Alek Sauer's 1:51.98. River Dell Regional (NJ) also placed its fast half miler on the second carry with Colin Daly splitting 1:52.91.
Alek Sauer (C) of Pennsbury starting what would be the 2nd fastest split (1:51.98) in the field
Pennsbury came back with its third leg Sam Webb displaying a strong 1:54.12 to stay in contention with the Jamaicans. St. Elizabeth and Kingston College answered with their anchor legs where the rowdy Jamaican crowd saw its own both run 1:52 splits. A nail-biter of a finish left St. Elizabeth on top winning in 7:38.38 to Kingston College's 7:38.54.

The only other 1:52 anchor was found in Nordhoff's (CA) Cameron Kunde as he seemed to come out of nowhere to place 3rd overall and take top American honors.
