AUBURN, Ala. - Twice, Alex Arrowood waved his arms to pump up the crowd as he neared the finish line Friday on the warning track in Atlanta’s SunTrust Park.
“When about 36,000 people are screaming your name, it’s hard to not let it go to your head,” says Alex, a 20-year-old Auburn fan. “It was an adrenaline rush, one that I’ve never had before.”
The crowd knew something Alex did not. Coming up on his outside, a former collegiate track star and member of the Braves’ grounds crew, Nigel Talton, was about to overtake him.
