Rusty Kujdych doesn't mind running alone. The Neshaminy junior wasted little time getting to the front, dropping a fast opening quarter en route to a state leading time in the 3200 meters.
After a 63 second first 400, Kujdych was all alone the rest of the way at Thursday's Montgomery Memorial Meet at William Tennent High School in Warminster. From there, he settled in and clicked off consistent splits. His final time was 9:16.20, a new PA#1.
Kujdych is ready for more big things this season, as he prepares for his league meet and the District 1 Championships. Watch the race above, as well as an interview with him after the race. Check out other meet links, as well, below:
