(Chelsea Update would like to thank Eric Swager for the information in Jen Alford for the photos.)
Last weekend, Connell Alford competed at the New Balance Outdoor National Championship in Philadelphia, recording two podium finishes.
He finished third in the Rising Stars 2-mile run, and was runner-up in the mile run.
His track coach Eric Swager said, “Connell’s work ethic once again paid off. This spring we focused a bit more on his last 150 meters, and this reaped rewards –
as is evidenced by his dominant finish in the mile. Another outstanding weekend.”
Swager said both races were lifetime bests, and Alford now sits #3 and #2 respectively on the all-time Chelsea Track lists for the 3,200 and 1,600 run.
This is a video link for his race in the mile, where Connell won his heat.
