Running an agressive race from lane 3, Kennedy lead all the way to the line, taking the victory in 46.90 on a very windy day in Santry. Gordon was pushed closely by the 3 Brians (Brian Doyle, 47.17; Brian Gregan, 47.43, Brian Murphy 47.52). Project 400’s newest member Nick Hogan finished 5th in 48.90.
