Texas Largest Judged One Mile Walk
PSJA High School, Pharr, Texas
Friday, January 2nd, 2009
Earlier today at PSJA High School Olympian Tim Seaman of the New York
Athletics Club captured the annual happing that is Texas’s Largest
Judged One Mile Race Walk. Seaman, a four time winner of the famed Rudin
Mile at Madison Garden’s Millrose Games, led 8 others under the 7 minute
barrier in windy conditions. Youngsters, thriving on the camp's week of
twice a day workouts excelled, especially HS junior Trevor Barron from
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska's Chris Tegtmeier. Their second
and third place finishes resulted in life time best performances.
The first four have declared their intent to compete in this year’s
Millrose Games, Friday, January 30th, which will also serve as the USA
National Championships for the 1 mile race walk.
