Clayton native Johnny Dutch ran to a second-place finish in the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships over the weekend at the University of Arkansas.

Dutch, a nine-time state high school champion at Clayton High School, was second in the 400-meter hurdles in 48.62 seconds. He was one of two area track standouts to post top-eight finishes in the national championships.

Former Garner standout Booker Nunley, a freshman for the Gamecocks, finished sixth in the 110-meter hurdles. Nunley clocked in at 13.84 seconds. He ran a 13.69 in the first round of qualifying and ran 13.80 in the semifinals.

Bethune-Cookman's Ronnie Ash won the 110 championship (13.27), while Washington State's Jeshua Anderson nipped Dutch (48.47 to 48.62) in the 400 finals.

Dutch, a sophomore at "the other" Carolina, won each of his qualifying races, cutting time off on both occasions.

About the blogger

D. Clay Best has served as the sports editor of The Herald since 1997 and has covered high school sports since 1992. He's gone through many neighborhoods of NFL-fandom including the Cowboys, Raiders and Patriots and is in limbo right now. If that's not enough to require therapy, he also has way too much brain space filled with useless info on the legendary '80s TV series "Miami Vice."
