Pocatello, Idaho –Senior Cameron Marshall narrowly edged Kyle Middlebrooks, junior, in the 60-meter dash at the Simplot Games by producing a late push and extending at the finish line with a decisive lean.

Marshall , from San Jose posted a time of 6.83 while Middlebrooks, from Anaheim , finished in 6.85 seconds.

The finish was so close officials had to determine the winner five minutes after the race was over.
“They kinda left me in the blocks but the 30 [meters] on is my strongest part of the race. So I focused up and fortunately caught him,” said Marshall.
