Sage unleashes a kick and 3,200 for the ages

2000 IL STATE | SAGE/KELLER DUKES OF YORK STORY | 2000 OUTDOOR NATIONALS
After state that year, Sage and Keller moved on to the post-season. Sage went out to California for the Golden West Invite and hammered three laps of the mile in 3:01 before finishing in 4:04.2. Then both Illinois stars ventured down to Raleigh for Foot Locker nationals, starting with what shaped up to be an epic 2-mile battle Friday, June 16. The weekend turned out to be a tough one for Sage. The deuce, contested on a very warm, humid evening went out in just 4:29. But Ritz overwhelmed the field in the second half, with a 10-second negative split and finishing in 8:48.06. Sage was just eighth in 9:05.99, while Keller continued his remarkable string of consistent sub-9s with an 8:58.81 in fourth. More news |
