Alisa Harvey wins first Drake 800, Nick Berra repeats for men
Nick Berra and Lance Elliott resumed their 800 rivalry Friday at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, with Nick recapturing the masters men’s title in 2:02.70 to Lance’s 2:02.87. Last year Lance beat Nick, the 2010 champ as well. For the first time, women had their own race as well — running Saturday morning. But the field was much smaller as American record-holder Alisa Harvey won in 2:17.78 at age 47, handling Jennifer Burke, 41, almost 4 seconds back. USATF even noted Alisa in its press release on Drake. Congrats to the entrants and Mark Cleary for overseeing this USATF Masters Invitational event.
Alisa ran 800 at Mt. SAC Relays several years ago. She likes the challenge.
