Tobias Competes in New Balance Meet

Alney Tobias competed at the New Balance Collegiate meet in New York City's New Balance Armory Track and Field Center on Feb. 5th, 2010. The meet is for colleges but invites a select group of athletes to compete in high school showcase races. Alney was invited because he was ranked in the top five in the NATION in the 1000m dash.

This finish moved Alney to third in the USA, and was his personal record for the event. Presenting Alney with his third place medal was US Olympic Great Carl Lewis, who was very interested and eager to talk track and field with Alney.
