Peter Kosgei 800-meter run (2008 NYSCTC championships)

Hamilton College's Peter Kosgei '10 (Kapsabet, Kenya/Kapsabet Boys' HS) breaks meet and school records in the 800-meter run at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference championships at the University of Rochester on May 3. His time of 1:48.72 broke the previous meet record of 1:51.1 by Buffalo State's George Lewis that had stood since 1980. Kosgei, who set a program record for the second straight week, has the fastest 800 time in NCAA Division III this year.

@BKBROS123 That is bs :D

@jasonziolkowski the guy in second ran the leaders race and took off when the leader did making that much harder to make up ground since hes running a longer race. the 2nd place finish ran roughly a :52 first 1/4 and a :59/60 second 1/4. if he waited to take off he would have shaved off about 2 maybe 3 more seconds off his time closing the gap seeing that he finished about 3 seconds after the leader. he paniced.

@tjdohner if he made his move 250-300 to go there would of been an even bigger gap between them and it would make it just that much harder to catch up. so you dont know what your talking about

[tjdohner]

dude in 2nd made his move way too early with 400m to go. he might have caught the guy if he waited to make a move around the 250m-300m mark.
