Jamal Runs the 400m

The 2010 Queen City Open/Masters Track & Pentathlon Classic was held at the Irwin Belk Track & Field Center at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte yesterday.  My husband Jamal is a member of the Atlanta Track Club and he ran the 400m dash.  He looked great out there, holding the lead until about the 250m mark.  That's when one of his opponents sneaked up on his heels and took the lead from him.  Jamal came in second place and ran a great race.  He's now convinced that after this race and a year of speed and endurance training, he's ready to focus strictly on the 200m.  I look forward to the next meet (which is coming up soon) to see how he fares in the 200m.  I hope you enjoy these images captured at the track meet, as well as a few scenic shots in and around the beautiful UNC-Charlotte campus.
