Barnicle Runs 4:06.9 mile

In his second indoor meet of the season, Newton North alum Chris Barnicle ran 4:06.9 for a full mile to set a 5-second PR. The Arkansas freshman finished 6th at the Razorback Invitational Saturday. The result is especially impressive, given that the pacing was not ideal. After hitting splits of 58.x and 1:59, Barnicle simply hung on in the second half, splitting 3:02 for 1200 and finishing with a 64.x last quarter.

Barnicle runs next at New York's Armory track in two weeks at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational.
