Obsa Ali overcame more than a 'flat tire'
By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor
When he got to the soft grassy finish, with 400 meters left in the race, Ali kicked off his shoes and dashed to the finish line with one shoe and one black sock scratching at the ground. He got to the finish line in 15:15.2 – just five seconds off Hassan Mead's record. Now, Ali is focused on Sunday's NXN Heartland Regional. This week he will manage a sore foot as well as shin pain that has plagued him all season long.
