It was a rough denouement to the winter season for Affolder, whose last two races indoors were a loss at Millrose caused by celebrating too early and a 22nd-place finish at New Balance Nationals while clearly recovering from an injury. At least he had the good humor to tweet out his younger brother's scathing poetry:
He'll look to reclaim the form that got him under 4:10 at Millrose. The wild card in this race is Brandon McGorty, whose brother Sean holds the Penn Relays record. The younger McGorty has only run the 1600 five times in the last two years; his PR indoors and out is 4:13, but his 1:51 800 speed makes him a contender for the win and a sub-4:10 time in this field.
