The race for the Boys' 6A 400m state title was a close one. Like, we're talking, nail biting close. It was a hundredth of a second that separated seniors Hayden Goodpaster out of Shawnee Mission Northwest and Clyde King Jr. of Manhattan for the title. People stood in wait for what would display on the time board after such a close finish. It would be Goodpaster that would come out victorious. There is nothing better than a fight for the finish in track and field, and nothing near as suspenseful as a close finish for the state title; with team titles on the line as well.
