2. Brandon McGorty over Drew Hunter
The race of the weekend was unquestionably McGorty's finish-line defeat of Hunter and Lomong. All three ran extremely fast and finished a ridiculous 0.09 seconds apart. It's not quite the upset of the week, though, as Hunter's 800 PR was nearly two seconds slower than McGorty's coming into the race. Hear what McGorty had to say after becoming the only current high school student to beat Drew Hunter in a race:
