“I KNEW I didn’t wanna come second without a shoe…”
The immortal words of Canada’s next big track star Justyn Knight of New York’s Syracuse University.
The 18-year-old middle distance runner lost his right spike mid-way through a weekend 1,500 Atlantic Coast Conference race, but powered through unbalanced to win by six-hundredths of a second.
His stride is pretty much unaffected.
“I went to the front, someone took off my shoe by accident,” Knight said in a report on Syracuse’s own YouTube channel, “and then I just had to fight for the rest of it, and I was able to close strong.”
“It was tough because I didn’t have any grip, but I knew I didn’t wanna come second without a shoe, so I had to come first.”
