Khosla gets the golden ticket to the Dream Mile NorthWest Florida Report by Herb Wills
The word came in the form of a golden ticket on Wednesday, 4 June 2014. Sukhi Khosla, a rising senior at Leon High, was invited to the Dream Mile in New York City. He would be one of the field of 14 elite high school runners running not the 1500, not the 1600, but an actual mile in a featured race at the adidas Grand Prix Meet in Icahn Stadium on June 14. Sukhi Khosla leads Niceville's Nick Morken en route to 4:06.45 at the 3A Region Meet All three of Khosla's nation-leading 1600 efforts this year came at the front end of a double. He was racing the 1600 fresh each time, but he also still knew that there was a 3200 to be run afterwards. Those 3200 times were 9:11.70, 9:10.96, and 9:05.75, by the way. Not as fast as his 8:59.50 best, but not too shabby, either. At the Dream Mile, though, Khosla will be running the mile. Period.
