Good Friday, indeed!
Dawson Reeves ’24 began his Easter Break by winning the 3,200 meters Friday afternoon at N.C. State’s Raleigh Relays, running 9 minutes, 11.48 seconds. The Duke recruit was up against a stacked field that included NCISAA 4-A state cross country champion Tyler Surface of North Raleigh Christian (10th place, 9:21.74).
Dawson’s time is just a hair under what he ran in November (9:11.56) when he won another big 3,200 race – the New Balance Dash for Doobie in the Winston-Salem area. Like that race, Greenies coach Randy Ashley was with Dawson for Friday’s win in Raleigh.
Dawson's personal record for the 3,200 (8:57.47) came last year at a meet in Arcadia, Calif.
