U.S. sprinter Wariner ‘trying to enjoy’ track; headlines Montreal meet
American sprinter Jeremy Wariner is moving up to middle distance racing — at least for one night.
The five-time world champion and 400-metre specialist is in the field for the 1,200-metre pursuit race at the Montreal Grand Prix on Saturday.
The unique event pits runners from various distances racing for cash. The first runner through the finish line after each of the six laps on the 200-metre track wins a cash prize.
“It’s a little out of the box for me. I thought it would be fun,” Wariner said.
