Leon junior Sukhi Khosla (pictured above by Donald Lamb) had previously held the US #1 time in the 1600 meter run for a short period of time over a week ago when ran a 4:06.45 PR at his regional meet in Florida, but then found out that Garrett Corcoran had just beat his time later on the same day at the Orange County Championships with a 4:06.00 performance. Despite racing on a water-logged track at the University of North Florida after a rain-soaked Florida Outdoor State finals for two days in Jacksonville, Kholsa was able to outperform his regional race and best Corcoran's time to take back the US lead in the event with a 4:05.96 victory in the 3A state race. He had company hot on his heels the entire way from Niceville's Nick Morken, who was able to be pulled along to a fast PR time as well in second place to Khosla at 4:07.95.

Khosla was not done for the day as he doubled back impressively in the 3200 meter run with a time of 9:05.75 for a second Florida 3A state outdoor title over the weekend. Khosla ran his PR of 8:59 in the 3200 at the FSU Relays back in late March.
