2018 USATF IL Association Battle: Girls 400m Thriller


PHOTOS I VIDEOS I RESULTS

The first round of the USATF IL State Association round was intense. Action typically takes place after a week after the IHSA Boys State Championship. Sometimes the opening action is hit or miss depending on the competition. It so happens in the girls 17-18 400m (largest age group) Taylor Tilmon (Lakes HS) waged a tremendous battle with 3A state champion "Cinnamon" DaJour Miles (West Aurora HS). The two all-state stallions separated from a talented field and roared ahead of a very vocal crowd. Miles appeared to be getting her way as she usually does until the final meters. Both speedsters rigging up in exhaustion just short of the finish line, it was Tilmon with a photo finish win 54.50-54.51.
