Andrew Ellerton won the 800m at the Harry Jerome Invitational tonight with a breakthrough time of 1:45.04!!!!! That crushes his old PB and breaks the "A" standard for selection to the World Championships.
Andrew now has only to run a time of 1:46.30 (the B-Standard) in order to qualify for Worlds to be held in Daegu Korea on August 27-September 4.
And...he won the race.
