At the 2019 SPIRE Ohio Championship Preview Meet, a young Justin Braun was just beginning to make waves. The Ohio freshman posted a time of 49.11 seconds in the 400m finals. But while the time was solid, it was the way in which he ran, taking down a field of upperclassmen, that was equally as impressive.
The Thomas Worthington High School athlete put in a huge surge around the final curve to propel himself down the home stretch, eventually beating Centerville (OH) senior -- and stud decathlete -- Yariel Soto as well as Pickerington Central's (OH) Denzell Feagin.
The duo ran 49.47 and 49.61 respectively. Watch the race from 2019 above and tune into this weekend's meet with the link below.
