Four-way fight to the finish in Maryland Region Championship
The slick gymnasium floor of the Baltimore Armory isn't known for yielding fast times; top runners must run tactically to finish in front. In the Boys 800m at the MPSSAA 4A East Region Championship, Nikolas Thomas of Suitland High School waited until the last second to make his move... you'll have to watch this four-man sprint finish to believe it. As an observant spectator calls at the end of the video, "That was a photo finish, MileSplit!"
