Two wins was enough for Reggie Wyatt.

The standout sprinter from La Sierra won the 400 and the 300 hurdles and had qualified to run in the 200 but decided that it was going to be a little ridiculous to compete in the latter event because it was being run almost immediately after the 300 hurdles. So he pulled out.

‘I didn’t want to push myself too hard,’ Wyatt said. ‘After the hurdles, I’m like, I’m done.’

Wyatt ran a credible 36.88 in the 300 hurdles but said he wasn’t gunning for the national record of 35.28 because of cool, windy conditions. Of course, he’ll have an opportunity to break the mark next week at the state meet.

‘It’s cold,’ he said. ‘I’ll wait for next week.’
