Jerrick Maldonado sets himself apart with dominant 800m 

The performance of the weekend for distance boys arguably has to be Jerrick Maldonado setting the bar in the boys 800m, going 1:57 at George Love Relays. Rio Rancho's Dawson Gunn moving up behind Maldonado in the 1600m after his performance at APS Quad #3 with a 4:37. The 3200m would remain mostly intact from the Rio Rancho Rust Buster which has the top 7 times in the state coming from that meet alone. It is still earlier in the season as most transition from the spring cross country but Malondado is certainly making his presence known as the guy to beat. Check out where others rank from the second weekend of action in New Mexico.
