After the race Brad’s Run SMART coach Brian Rosetti said, “We spent about 15-weeks gearing towards 2:06 and Brad hit it right on the dot! I think he was :63 at the quarter so he actually left a little time out there but this was his first race of the year. It’s very difficult to run your best in the 800M when you haven’t raced much so I expect big things from Brad this summer at the Masters Nationals in Chicago. He’s working very hard right now.”
